Translations:Equipment clearances and safe working space/1/en

All electrical components must follow proper requirements for clearances (space between one component and another object) given by manufacturers and by electrical codes. Requirements for clearances fall into two categories: clearances for ventilation and clearances to create a safe working environment. Often times the clearance requirements that a manufacturer makes in a product manual will be more stringent than the requirements outlined in an electrical code - the larger of the two requirements should be followed. In any case, it is important to use proper judgement when performing an installation. Equipment should be placed in a location that easy to access, provides proper ventilation, is clear of other objects (not used for storage), provides sufficient space in which to work, and is easy to exit in the case of emergency. Equipment should be installed in a height and location that is appropriate for the space and users.
