Robin, Your question consists of many parts and here is the answer to some of the parts. UL and other agencies measure creepage/clearance using the working voltages in a few places mainly across the isolation barrier. You then use the peak and RMS values that you have obtained and then calculate

Dear all, We have designs for ferrite transformers need to be compliant to UL1950. However, some concepts still confused me, (1) How do UL define the creepage distance? (2) We use marginal tapes for the primary winding and the interwinding also. Then do we need to add marginal tapes

Dear Robin, If I'm not mistaken the 300 V or 600 V rating for Insulation Systems per UL1446 is for primary supply voltage and not for the maximum voltage in any winding. You state that the transformer is being designed for a 200 C rating. Remember that you need only comply with UL1446 if your
