In my experience, the more people know about electricity, the more cautious they are. And the more they have to deal with dangerous voltages, the more cautious they are. With few exceptions, most Youtubers you see doing dangerous stuff online have no idea what they are doing. Speak to a decent electrician and you’ll see they work more safely than most engineers and thousand time safer than amateurs. We don’t really need electrical cowboys showing off how dangerous the stuff they do is.

The ones I’m talking about, they’re ubitquitous, supermarkets have them, don’t do dimming, just on/off. They seem to use a relay, from the clicking they make. I don’t think this one does dimming either right?

NO. 10 ON A 50-A BREAKER: The data tag and the wiring of the air conditioner in Orr’s home, which includes a No. 10 wire on a 50-amp breaker.

Look and feel. Although it lacks the reflex mirror of an SLR, having replaced it with a fixed translucent mirror, the basic shape of the Sony SLT-A33 still follows that of a traditional SLR fairly closely. That’s because, since it accepts the same Alpha lenses as Sony’s DSLRs, the Sony A33 also has to accommodate the same backfocus distance, which is one of the main contributors to the size — and especially, the depth — of an SLR camera. Removing the reflex mirror still provides potential for space and weight savings, and Sony has taken good advantage of this. Most obviously, the drive mechanism that raises and lowers the reflex mirror in a traditional SLR isn’t needed. The translucent mirror design also provides other opportunities to optimize component placement. As one example of this, Sony has increased the angle of the translucent mirror, so that instead of directing light directly upward at a 90 degree angle as it would for a viewfinder prism, it is actually angled upward and slightly forward, allowing the autofocus sensor to be moved forward, providing more room for the electronic viewfinder assembly directly to the rear.

I think we are past the early adopter phase. The general public will not want to use only 40 miles a day. We have charged our volt and ELR at 110, but I did add a 50 amp plug to our new house. I just purchased a JuiceBox EVSE. So I get faster charging now and I’m set for our next vehicle too.

I stuck a finger in a light socket when I was about 3 years old back in Brooklyn NY and got a momentary buzz sensation. Nothing more. I got a few more 110V shocks as a US Army Air Force student of electronics back in 1944. No problems but I was warned to keep my left hand in my pocket in uncertain situations to not form a circuit through my heart, Here in Helsinki where I now live I have taken 220 V a couple of times. Nothing I’d recommend but no harm done. Nevertheless, I’m careful and never fool around with wet hands.

– Use isolated differential probes to measure high voltage. – Use current clamps or current transformers to measure current. – Put bleeding resistors in any big capacitor in your circuit. – Don’t change the position of the probes in the power circuit without power everything down. – Don’t work with high voltages alone. – If there’s more people involved in your experiment, block any circuit breaker, button or at least put some signs to prevent people from turning them on while you are messing with the circuit. Paranoids may even ground things while they are playing with the installation to direct the current to the ground in case someone makes a mistake.

I had a job testing these once, and I can confirm that standard failure mode for overcurrent is some kind of explosion. Usually it was a puff of flame and dust down the leg, but occasionally we’d get a TO220 blown in half

I certain the Residual Current Circuit Breaker is what GFCI is in North America. Not expensive at all for the units that will fit into a device box. The breaker that mount in the breaker panel are pretty pricey though, but are rarely called for. The only time they are needed if a building uses shallow device boxes for some reason.

my first “real” job was in a video game arcade back in the 80’s my boss was a really cheap prick that used to buy asian cocktail machines that were “native” 110V, with a 240V to 110V step down transformer wedged in where it would fit, my second day I was fishing out a 20 cent coin that had missed the coin box, I got “zapped” hard enough to blow my finger nail in half and stop my heart.

253V above. The 3% voltage reduction equalled 5% of the load and 6% voltage reduction 10% of the load I seem to remember. Over 15 years ago.

I suppose if you want, you can stick your fingers into the toaster slot to touch the exposed element and push down the slider or try to make toast while taking a bath. Otherwise, you are not making any contacts with the high voltage.
