Where it is impossible to obtain the required safetyclearances, earthed screens may be provided.The following table gives the sectional clearances <strong>for</strong> persons to enable inspectioncleaning, repairs; painting and general maintenance works to be carried out in a substation.Highest SystemVoltageSection Clearances145 kV 3500 mm72 kV 3000 mm36 kV 2800 mm12 kV 2600 mmThe following minimum clearances should be adopted <strong>for</strong> enclosed indoor busbarsand connections in air which are not filled with any insulating medium like compoundetc.Highest System voltage betweenphases or polesMinimum clearances in Air1-11
