Apr 14, 2015 at 12:04 comment added Dmitry Grigoryev Why not? The gap distance is additive quantity.
Apr 14, 2015 at 11:44 comment added Dzarda @DmitryGrigoryev Are you sure leaving those NC tracks in between effectively increases the creepage distance? In my mind, it doesn't quite work.

Apr 14, 2015 at 10:44 comment added Dmitry Grigoryev Why do Live and Neutral have to be adjacent? My suggestion is to leave 2-3 NC tracks next to the ones carrying 230V. Of course ripping those NC tracks would be even better.
Apr 14, 2015 at 10:40 comment added carveone I was going on the assumption that adjacent tracks would be Live and Neutral which could arc over. Plus my experience of stripboard is that it's never clean <grin>. I was going to suggest that you could rip the intermediate tracks up in which case it'd be fine. When I was 18 or 19 I used to just draw the tracks on pre-drilled PCB with a Sharpy and etch it. Often easier than stripboard in cases like this - join the dots!
