I'm thinking no. Again, I'm not certified or even experienced, but: It seems to me that if someone were holding it with moist hands- that persons body would be quicker to ground than a path including the outer enclosure-->the screw post-->the PS frame--> ring terminal conntection and ground wire-->then finally back out the ground on the IEC and into your receptacle. I've seen people recommend sanding down the finish of the case where the ring terminal attaches for better conduction, so I'm thinking a bolt might not be the lowest impedance path available. As noted, the fuse isn't going to reduce the shock hazard- so proper grounding techniques are pretty much the only defense you've got. Unfortunately you can't take my word for it (I've been proven not so bright a few times here) and will have to do research on these things before you can legally/morally sell them for profit. I would humbly suggest starting here: http://sound.westhost.com/psu-wiring.htm : On the fuse issue, there are IEC inlets with an integral fuse inside. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18491 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
