design/operating clearances and safety clearances.
5.5 Need for the Project: There is an error in one of the formula and also there is a typo which needs correction. We will examine the entire
guide also.
5.6 Stakeholders for the Standard: Utilities and consultant companies that are involve with designing high voltage substation.
