THINK !)So, What's Wrong With That, The guy on the picture (see link below) is protected by 2 layers of safety: 1/ Basic Insulation, rated for the mains voltage PLUS transient levels 2/ Grounding , for in case the basic insulation wears out or fails for whatever reason (drops in the pool ?) Many of us on this list are in some way responsible for the safety of their employers products, or even test houses (like me) ! Do we have that much confidence in our work ? Are we somewhere concerned the safety regulations are not strict enough ? Do we, when working with electricity , count for extra layers of safety, such as not standing bare foot on an aluminium ladder, in a swimming pool ? Are we concerned that the safety measures won't suffice for the lifetime of the equipment ? This man is doing what we expect our customers to do: have confidence that products sold comply with essential safety regulations.
