The Importance of PCB Line Spacing, Creepage, and Clearance

The PCB line spacing for creepage and clearance becomes an important factor from a product safety viewpoint when the standard operating voltage is above 30VAC or 60VDC. Voltages above these levels are considered hazardous, and that is why these designs are regarded as high voltage.
