Your question should read, 'How much clearance is needed between LINES.... (not 'phases')?' The answer will depend on local authority regulations. The clearances in air tolerated by REC companies in the UK is 90 mm line to line and 127mm phase to earth. Even though there is a greater potential difference between line to line, the gap is less. I think it's to do with public safety if it flashes to earth.

When dealing with a 3 phase power supply the safe clearance zone between each phase is usually within an arms reach, there are exceptions to this rule like a 3 phase socket or a distribution board.
The clearance between 33-kV line (not 'phase'!) conductors depends on whether they are rigid (e.g. busbars) or can move (e.g. overhead lines); whether they are insulated or in air; etc.. So there are several 'clearance' distances. All are published on the internet -so you can do a search to find out for yourself.
Insulation.Can be air (as in overhead powerlines) or a non conducting material ( as in a power cord)AnswerPresumably, you are asking what the clearance is between two conductors? If so, then it depends on the voltage between them; the higher the voltage, the greater the clearance must be.
A two-phase a.c. system is an archaic system, in which two phase voltages are generated 90 electrical degrees apart. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the US 'split phase' system that supplies North American homes. A two-phase system can be a four-wire system, or a three-wire system, and was useful because, unlike a single-phase system, it could create naturally rotating magnetic fields in induction motors. It has long been superseded by the three-phase system.
Do you REALLY mean a 'two-phase' system? Two-phase systems are archaic, and haven't been used for many decades.
Phase to phase clearance should be around 11.5 inches.

The minimum separation for a voltage of 34.5kV and conductor spans of 50 meters or less is 600 mm. The vertical clearance is 6.7 meters . For countries that never changed to the metric system 50 meters is about 150 feet and 600 mm is about 24 inches, 6.7 meters is about 22 feet. The minimum separation for a voltage of 15 kV and conductor spans of 50 meters or less is 400 mm. The vertical clearance is 6.1 meters.
for 415V phase to earth min clearance is 25mm pallavCommentYou cannot have a voltage between a 'phase' and earth. You should be asking the clearance between a 'line' and earth.

In a single-phase system, one tension is provided by 1 phase and the neutral wire, which is convenient for domestic electricity consumption. As for the 3-phase system, you have 2 voltages: *between any phase and the neutral conductor, you have the PHASE VOLTAGE (V) *between one phase and any other, you get the LINE VOLTAGE (U) ;which is greater than V. Relation between these voltages is: U = V x sqrt[3] The advantage of such a "polyphased" system is obvious, since the electric power is divided into the three phase, you get less Joule loss compared to a single-phase system with the same total power. That's why great consumers of electricity (such as factories) chose to be powered through three-phase.

If you are referring to an alternating current system, then a phase describes a winding, or a load, that is connected between any two line conductors in a delta-connected system, or between any line and the neutral conductor in a wye-connected system.
