@zetasyanthis A beefy ICL?
@zetasyanthis exactly what sort of project are you using this for?
@Felthry Essentially a box that lets me test mains appliances more safely. I've got a beefy input filter and ceramic fuseholder, an NTC, an AC (analog :D) ammeter, and a GFCI. https://www.mpja.com/IEC-Power-Inlet-Module-RFI-Filter-Switch-Fuse-Holder/productinfo/33931+FH
@Felthry I don't remember if you're in the US or not, but we don't have RCD/GFCI protection on most outlets. That was the main purpose, to protect against me providing a path to earth accidentally. :P
@zetasyanthis yeah, we're in the US, and the lack of GFCIs on most outlets is kind of worrying
but also we recently saw someone from Brazil have a "wait THAT's what those are? why don't we have those here???" moment so uh, could be worse
@Felthry Yeah... I've been watching a lot of bigclivedotcom, and the fact that the UK has them at the distribution board level is kind of mindblowing to me. Seems way safer.
@zetasyanthis iwrc that's the standard in all of europe, not just the uk
@Felthry Yeah, I think so. Tbh, we could easily just do it at a circuit level by putting the first outlet in every branch on a GFCI. That'd at least take care of a lot of things. (Lighting circuits would be another issue.)
@zetasyanthis You can get circuit breakers for US use that have integrated GFCIs too!
@Felthry Yeah, but they have to fit the panel, and a lot of older panels, like the place I'm renting right now, won't take them. (Plus, the landlord probably wouldn't want me messing with that. :P)
@zetasyanthis you're probably just as, if not more, knowledgeable about that sort of stuff than a lot of the others who've worked on it!
