as usual, a lot of abusive rubbish.
The transformer I'm looking at has passed the appropriate electrical safety
regulations as outlined
by EnergySafe Victoria. If you had looked at the specifications you would
have seen that.
The equipment was bought from US so it didn't come with a "compulsory safety
approved plug
pack".
It's funny that someone who holds himself in such high esteem lacks the
insight to entertain a
possibilty other than the obvious. I revel in your demonstrations that you
have the mountainous
wit and colossal acumen of a slug.
3amp 9v AC plug packs are not that easy to come by. If you want to point me
in the
direction of one for sub $30 please feel free.
BTW do you know what a "comb" filter is yet?
As usual you offer nothing to anyone other than useless abuse. You are a
pathetic dog
turd on the shoe of life. I just wish people wouldn't take the bait and
respond to you and
your ilk. A troll who is not fed dries up and blows away like the turd they
are.
It is awful that you find that your lonely, insignificant life wanking in
front of the PC so lacking in fulfillment.
Do you find that trolling newsgroups sates your desparate need for attention
and acknowledgement?
Very sad. BTW if you see a post by me please refrain from replying, you have
ably demonstrated
to me enough that you are a dolt, I need no more convincing.


** Buy an approved plug pack with that rating.

Those are not especially easy to find, hence his question.


** Bollocks - they are quite easy to find.


So do I get a 240v-9v transformer from the electronics shop and put it
in a case, attach the correct leads and I'm done.

** No - that is not safe.

I suppose an inline fuse might be a safety precaution.

** Fuses save equipment from fire - not people from electric shock.

The transformer you have cited is not safety approved for use as an
external PSU.

It is not short circuit proof and it does not have a thermal fuse.

Buy a 9 volt AC plug pack - it will cost far less anyhow.

Idiot.

By extension, are all people who build their own power supplies idiots?


** If they build ones to replace compulsory safety approved plug packs
that came with equipment AND pay more in the process - yes, they are
total idiots.



You do point out an important advantage of "wall-wart" type
transformers -- that, in general, they are designed so that when
short-circuited, they either do not overheat, or burn out without
generating enough heat to start a fire.

** That is not what I pointed out - you fucking MORON.

The * advantage * of the approved plug pack is that it will not
electrocute you.



However, with reasonable precautions (fuse, enclosure, etc.) I don't
think what this fellow is proposing to do is dangerous.


** Errrr - just how the *** would a pig ignorant ASS like you know
??


He's only going to use it with a specific preamplifier, not connect it to
things at random.


** What irrelevant CRAP !!


And he's building one unit, not applying for safety certification.


** You are clearly not one tiny bit sane.

240 volt AC power is LETHAL.

What the fuckwit OP proposed is beyond stupid and ILLEGAL.

I hope it kills him.

I'm afraid it will kill someone else.
