This tool is engineered to determine adequate separation distances between conductive parts in electrical equipment. It automatically assesses these distances based on factors such as the working voltage, pollution degree, and material group of the insulation, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

Adhering to prescribed separation distances is critical for preventing electrical breakdown, reducing the risk of short circuits, and minimizing potential fire hazards. Historically, manual calculations were prone to errors, making this automated approach significantly more reliable and efficient in electrical design processes.

This tool is designed for determining the minimum acceptable distances between conductive parts or between a conductive part and the equipment’s accessible surface. These distances are evaluated based on working voltage, pollution degree, and material group to ensure electrical safety in product design. For example, a design engineer might use this instrument to verify that the spacing between high-voltage traces on a printed circuit board meets safety standards for the intended operating environment.

Adhering to proper spacing specifications is crucial for preventing electrical breakdown, reducing the risk of short circuits, and complying with international safety regulations. Historically, determining these values required referencing complex tables and performing manual calculations, a process that was both time-consuming and prone to error. Automation of this process provides significant time savings, improves accuracy, and facilitates compliance with relevant safety standards, leading to safer and more reliable electronic products.
