where:
U90%_ff is the fast front overvoltage being withstood with 90% probability (kV):
U90%_ff = U50%_ff kz_ff;
kz_ff is the deviation factor of the fast front withstand voltage: kz_ff = 0,961;
kz_sf is the deviation factor of the slow front withstand voltage. For switching
impulses: kz_sf = 0,922;
ka is the altitude factor
kcs is the statistical coordination factor taken as 1,05.
The gap factor kg (1.45 for conductor-structure) depends on the type of gap
In EN 50341-1 [8], Annex E, formulae for the calculation of the clearances Dpe_pf
between live and earth parts is as follows:
where:
kz_pf is the deviation factor being 0,910 for power frequency voltages;
kg_pf is the power frequency factor.

From the table above, the live working clearance is about 3.095m when p.u. is 2.20.
p.u. is usually about 2.00 in 500kV transmission line.
From the table above, the clearance of 500kV live work is 3.20m, and an additional 0.5m space
allowing movement of human body shall be available where operators need to stay for work.
So, total live work clearance is 3.20+0.5=3.70m.

From calculating above, the clearance 3.77m is enough for system insulation level.
Based on the bid document 500 kV TL CPP 01 Bidding Docs Volume II section 2.2.3,
The minimum clearance is 4.5m > 3.77m. Therefore, we will use clearance 4.5m for
insulation design.
