    The document discusses clearances and spacing requirements for safe access to alternating current (AC) switchyards. It states that designs must ensure personnel can perform operations and maintenance without accidentally entering the danger zone, which is defined as the minimum phase to earth clearance to live conductors. The danger zone concept aims to provide safe access and minimum conductor spacings for new AC switchyards.

    7 CLEARANCES FOR SAFE ACCESS AND CONDUCTOR SPACINGS


    This section sets out the minimum clearances required for safe access to a.c. switchyards,
    and also includes the minimum conductor spacing requirements for new a.c. switchyards.

    7.1 Fundamental design requirement for safety


    Designs must ensure that competent personnel can carry out operating and maintenance
    procedures without inadvertently encroaching within the danger zone.
    The danger zone is defined by the minimum phase to earth clearance (N) to live
    conductors.
