I hope someone can help.
I want to get the mathematical formula to calcutate the spark over or flash over distance between 2 conductors / busbars.
I was taought the rule of thumb is 25mm per 1000 volt i.e 22000 volt the flash over distance is then 550 mm if the conditions is favourable.
Do I have this correct or am I totally off the point.
I will be glad if someone can help
Thanks
