minimum code distance (between the bars or rails) Explanation: You're right; it's tough to come up with a proper way of expressing the idea. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 5 mins (2004-07-31 19:14:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Although the German says \"voltage distance,\" we know that the concern is that the lines or bars must be far enough apart so that no arcing occurs. Electrical codes have been set up to regulate such distances. |
