The internal spec is 1700 VDC withstanding and that is achieved with only 2 mils of FR-4. So, there is no need to clear planes that are internal to the PCB.=3D20 Why do engineers globally apply specs, when they don't apply? Yes, there is one regulator person in Australia who does not understand this and insists that planes need to be cleared. He is out to lunch! We solved the problem by just not shipping to Australia! The whole market in Australia is less than half ofCalifornina, so it wasn't much of a sacrifice.
