a. The rated lightning impulse is applicable phase- to-phase and phase- to earth.
b. Minimum clearance required for upper value of rated lightning impulse withstand voltage.
c. The introduction of Um = 550 kV (instead of 525 kV): 800 kV(Instead of 765 kV): 1200 kV, of a value between 765 kV
(550) c
and 1200kV, and of the associated rated withstand voltages, is under consideration.

Note: 1. The safety working clearences(horizontal) in column 4 are regarded as minimum clearences.
For systems where the predominant volatges are higher (275 kV and 400 kV) it is practice in the UK that the
horizontal and vertical clearences are equal, conforming to the minimum figures in column 3.
Note: 2. The insulation height(pedestrain access)figures in column 5 are shown in respect of the appropriate system
voltage as follows:
(a) for systems predominantly involving distribution voltages,i.e. upto and including 132 kV,2.1 m is the recommended
minimum requirement:
(b) for systems where the predominant voltages are higher,i.e. 275 kV and 400kV, 2.4 m is the recommended
minimum requirement.
The above figures are regarded as minimum clearences. Users and operators may wish to allow further clearence greater
than that shown for the voltage level in column 5, particularly for equipment at the higher distribution voltages situated in
a single compound with higher voltage equipment present in a compound subject to a greater clearence. In these
circumstances, it might be convenient to design and operate to the clearence for the highest voltage equipment.
