There may also be safety considerations -- simply using standard values
for V/mil does not guarantee a safe product. You have two options -- use
the recommended creepage and clearance distances between high voltage
and SELV (from UL60950 or similar), or test each instance with a hi-pot
tester.

Sreekanth,
The best way to do this is to refer to the voltage impulse tables in IEC
60664-1 and determine the impulse rating required for your 1kV working
voltage.  Then divide the V/mil rating into that number. =20

Simply dividing the 1000 volts by the V/mil rating of the prepreg is
risky at best because all electrical products experience voltage
impulses unless on a battery supply.

  Hi All,
=20
            What could be the rule of thumb while designing a multilayer
board with HighVoltage.
            For eg:- If I have 1KV in one  layer, what could be the
required minimum prepeg thickness to the next layer?=20
            And what could be the   voltage & current carrying capacity
of
FR4 .
=20
 BestRegards,
 Sreekanth N Nampoothiri
