With basic material such as dry phenolic you can use about 1/2" per KV
for long term safety. I'm sure the nit pickers will have their say but
typical olden style HV supplies in industrial applications worked quite
well at those spacings and survived pollutants such as mice, etc but
contest coffee probably would not survive.
