BS EN IEC 61472-2:2021 PDF

What is BS EN IEC 61472-2 about?

BS EN IEC 61472-2 specifies a method for determining the electrical component of the minimum approach distances for live working, for AC systems 1 kV up to and including 72.5kV. It addresses system overvoltage, and the working air distances between equipment and/or workers at different potentials. BS EN IEC 61472-2 is a safety standard that guides you to maintain minimum approach distance for AC system during live working. The withstand voltage and minimum approach distances determined by the method described in BS EN IEC 61472-2 can be used only if the following working conditions prevail:

Workers are trained for, and skilled live lines or close to live conductors or equipment,

The operating conditions are adjusted so...
