4.8 Flashover distance

The distance to external objects from the top of the bushing is very important for the safe operation of
the bushing.

A clear area around the high voltage end of the bushing must be maintained, to prevent flashover or other
disturbances. The radius of the area corresponds to the arcing distance of the bushing insulator.

CAUTION!

Objects in the flashover distance can cause a spontaneous electrical discharge.
