6.5.4 Minimum air clearances
After proper installation, verify that the minimum air clearances between non-insulated parts
are maintained. Be aware of any protruding wire ends.

≤1000V 8.0 8.0 14.0
Values apply at an installation altitude of up to 2000m.
When determining the required minimum air clearance, the voltage value in the table may be increased by
a factor of 1.1, so that the rated input voltage range is taken into account during general use.

NOTICE
Material damage caused by an excessively high supply voltage
Material damage can occur if the supply voltage is too high for the insulation system.
• Observe the values in the following tables.
SIMOTICS machines can be operated with SINAMICS converters (uncontrolled and controlled
infeed) when maintaining the permissible voltage peaks.
The insulation system of SIMOTICS machines corresponds to the specications laid down in
IEC 60034-18-41 according to voltage stress category C (IVIC C = high stress).
