Subject: board isolation cut-outs

From: "Dave Mucha" <dave_mucha@...>

Hi all,

I'm looking to measure a 300 volt line and drop it to 5 volts. One
of the many problems is that there is also the potential of a 15kV
spike on the line.

I would appreciate any help finding parts that can withstand the high
voltage. And any links to information on what to watch out for.


But, for this group. Does anyone have any ideas on how to determine
the slices in a PCB around chips ? I would like to isolate the 15kV
pulse from the rest of the board. A second board is a very good
possibility.

VERY open to suggestions.

Dave
