Can anyone give a rational reason why UL ask for around twice the creepage distances for 120V that EN standards ask for 230V.
I realise this is a bit vague, but I can dig out some examples if any needs to be convinced. I have been asked this by customers on a number of occasions, and have always meant to find out so I would no longer have to apologise for not knowing. Thanks Richard for jogging my memory.
