Why spacing gets ignored
Clearance looks like a drawing detail until an incident forces attention. Treating it as paperwork invites real risk at busy sites where people and vehicles move closer than the plan ever intended, and the gap that exists only on paper cannot stop an accident.
The principle is simple
No formula needed: the system adapts to actual conditions, with safety first. Clear physical space around units is the baseline that makes every other part of the charging setup safe to use, and no schedule pressure is worth trading that space away for.
What to check on site
Confirm the required gap is present, not just marked on paper. Loose interfaces, damaged cables or overheating mean stop and report at once. Do not modify parts yourself under any circumstance, because a small unauthorized tweak can undo months of careful safety design. A gap that exists only on a drawing cannot stop an accident, and the sites that measure clearance on the floor are the ones whose users never learn the hard way why the space matters.
