thermometer when you burn it ;-)

Of

latest was in a

transistorised,
but capable of
600W per channel
into 8 ohms.? That
means that the
power rails are
+/-100V (so a
delta of 200V).?
That packed quite
a kick.? I was
trying the Mk 1
thermometer
(finger) to see
how warm the
heatsinks were.?
Oof.

Like
here in the UK
you cannot do
installed
mains power
work yourself
- like
install an
armoured cable
to an
outbuilding.
It is now
illegal to do
this
(in the UK).
It has to be
done by a
certified
electrician,
and your
domestic
insurance
requires this.
And why is
that? Because
the government
looked at the
number of
deaths by
domestic
electrocution.
This reduced
from
30 deaths per
year before
legislation,
to 22 deaths
(2010 data).
So the
whole raft of
legislation -
that the
taxpayer pays
for - and the
costs of
using a c
ertified
electrician
saves 8 lives
each year!
