Clause 5.4.4 of UL1950, Third Edition specifies that in lieu of creepage and 
clearance distance requirements for operational insulation, the electric 
strength test for operational insulation (Table 18) can be used.

Does anyone know how to calculate minimum distances between traces on a printed 
circuit board that would allow one to pass the dielectric test at a given 
voltage?  Or has anyone taken any empirical data that would shed light on this 
topic?  Also, would trace width have an impact on the dielectric test results?
