Never draw a power PCB like this
China NewBoy:
Result:
Boom ,The strip blow up, and i made a black mark on the floor,the air switch of the outlet was pop ,half of the PCB turn to black .
fortunatly, i didnt hurt myself.
what cause it:
the L and N on my PCB are too close, and when the power line being pulled and drag back incidentally,the wire loose,and a piece of wire cross through the L N .
i really learn a lesson from it.
(the floor and PCB have been cleaned,the mark still is on the floor)
capt bullshot:
Nothing wrong with that, everyone (in electronics) has to make this kind of experience at least once in his life / career
Miti:
It gives you that feeling of awareness and respect for electricity that you didn’t have before. :-DD

I've seen marks very like that on the inside of a metal chassis, underneath the PSU. The PSU had live wires soldered through holes, which hadn't been properly cropped close to the PCB surface, so it only took a mild knock (or possibly a modest voltage spike) to create an arc from PSU to chassis.
Top tip, it may be worth making PCB stand-offs a little longer than you think is strictly needed, and/or putting an insulator under the PSU.
