Hi
The 6 PTH’s shown are for the secondary pins of a offline 180-265VAC flyback with NP/NS = 4:1. (Vout = 24V)
The 3 RHS holes are the secondary side switching node.
At 265VAC, these holes go 93V below secondary ground. The red copper pour surrounding the holes is top copper pour of the secondary +24V rail. In other words, there is a voltage of 117V peak between these PTH’s and the surrounding copper pour. The copper pour is only 0.3mm clear of the holes.
Do you agree that this is a violation of EN62368?
According to the following document, the clearance should be at least 0.6mm

What are your thoughts? Are there any “get out clause’s” here?
