Hey,
I'm building a board that has some fairly high voltages. Well, high for a PCB anyway. Naturally I was interested in seeing how far apart I need to place the tracks to stop arcing/make it legal.
I came across this formula on the net: Distance between tracks = 0.023" + (0.0002" * peak volts).
Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know what the international standards (European/American) say?
Thanks
