creepage

And so there'll be some creepage of your use in a direction where security really does matter.

In case of a positive force (negative creepage ) it is:

Longer insulators with longer creepage distance for leakage current, are required in these cases.

We have a problem with ground-water seepage and really persistent purple fungus creepage.

The size of the adhesion area depends on the creepage, the wheel radius and the friction coefficient.

When the team members visited, they found that a technician walks the dam twice a day with a hand-held device to check creepage.

In rail vehicle dynamics, this overall slip of the wheel relative to the rail is called creepage.

Minimum creepage distances are 20-25 mm/kV, but must be increased in high pollution or airborne sea-salt areas.

Among others he found that spin creepage, which is symmetric about the center of the contact patch, leads to a net lateral force in rolling conditions.

Consider a cylinder that is rolling over a plane (half-space) under steady conditions, with a time-independent longitudinal creepage .

Real in-circuit isolation voltage is further reduced by creepage over the PCB and the surface of the package.

Also, studies have shown that the specific creepage distance required in polymer insulators is much lower than that required in porcelain or glass.

In 1958 K.L. Johnson presented an approximate approach for the 3D frictional problem with Hertzian geometry, with either lateral or spin creepage.

High voltage insulators for outdoor use are shaped to maximise the length of the leakage path along the surface from one end to the other, called the creepage length, to minimise these leakage currents.

The minimum required creepage distances over an insulating material between electrically conducting parts in apparatus, especially between parts with a high voltage and parts that can be touched by human users, is dependent on the insulators CTI value.

In analysing the dynamics of wheelsets and complete rail vehicles, the contact forces can be treated as linearly dependent on the creep (Kalker's linear theory, valid for small creepage) or more advanced theories can be used from frictional contact mechanics.
