Hi Clemens, Very informative. I have a question: Why and how do Clearance and Creepage specifications are affected by altitude or elevation? Thank you very much.
There appear to be two issues related to increasing altitude: decreasing heat convection capability (thermal derating) and easier arcing. To compensate for this clearance & creepage distances must be increased. But this seems to be problematic only at pretty high altitudes (planes, weather balloons, things like that).
Once again, Elektor will set the standard for something that the rest of the world will copy, such as when you published the code to the RFID reader ...

Too bad that the EU/EEC does not step-in with a "libre" version like it does for EMC and machine-safety.
Interesting!

Nice to have rules, but the half of Chinese stuff they sell in Europa are dangerous and it continue because it is cheap.🤔🤦♂️
not interested at all. just waste of time
