Hi Rich.

The exception being Table G.2 of IEC60950, 3rd ed.  Table G.2 clearly states
its applicability up to 2km, when using Annex G and its "Alternative method
for determining minimum clearances."

Hi Doug:


IEC 60950 differs from IEC 60664 in that the clearances
are for sea level, not 2000 meters.  See Table 18, Note
2.

Since 664 is the reference standard, I suppose one can
ask whether the 950 authors correctly transposed the 
2000-meter clearances from 664 to sea level clearances
for 950.  

I have had the impression that the 950 authors have 
always taken a very conservative approach to clearances
and have invoked distances larger than those found in 
664.  


Regards,
Rich
