(1) ESDD is the equivalent salt deposit density.
(2) Ratio of leakage distance measured between phase and earth over the r.m.s phase to phase
voltage of the highest voltage of the equipment.
(3) Consideration should be given to increasing the creepage distances is areas where there are long
periods without rainfall or very close to the marine coast

Example:
Select a suitable disc insulator string for a 132 kV line subject to heavy
contamination. Use normal or fog disc profiles where the creepage length is
292 mm normal and 432 mm for fog.

Comments:
For spans much higher than 200 metres, the combined loads may
exceed the 12.5 kN ultimate design cantilever strength. Design
options to support the failure containment load for the long spans
include:
