Is it absolutely a no-no to run (insulated) wires carrying 120V AC across the top of a PCB that has primary and secondary sides (and pass over/by secondary/DC side)?

• Generator use case

Wanting to give yall some perspective on what these little suitcase generator units can do and what they consume.

We had a tornado hit our area and had a power outage through last night.

Here’s what I’ve got.

Wen 2350

Here’s what we had plugged into it

  • 6000 btu portable ac unit

  • 100w charger for phones and laptop

  • Fridge freezer combo

  • 2 cpap machines

  • Various battery chargers

I don’t think it’s maxed out, but I couldn’t run it in eco mode as it would trip the overload.

Ran for about 14 hours straight and when ran straight with everything running I could get 5 hours between each tank. The tank on it is roughly 1.1 gallon, so if I had to get a full days worth I would need about 5 gallons a day.

I think my next move is a few more 5 gallon cans. I am also going to plumb into the gas line with a quick connect so I can gravity feed the generator with a 6 gallon marine tank.
