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?
