I'm really surprised everyone here recommends a lower voltage power supply ran in parallel. I don't see a problem as your isolated from ground so with 24v vs 240v you still need to complete the circuit. What the deal with that recommendation?
In Europe they basically tell us we can't work on anything above 50v for security reasons. If a person without an electrical degree has made a single over 50v device that is kept in a building, all house insurance would be voided in any emergency situation.
Living as a guest in someones house makes it simple for me. I can't shit on my host and void their insurances
I find the whole thing quite amusing, since they always teach us at school how European electricity kills less people because of our lower current. Then they regulate us non-electricians to an ever lower voltage and the higher currents that come along with it.
Thats bureaucrats for you hahaha. I think the dangers of high voltage DC are overstated. Sure, If your supply is not isolated from AC mains then you can accidentally ground yourself and your screwed. From a fire perspective, low current is always better in my eyes.
I don't think we have laws like that here is the US. I'll have to check just to make sure I don't screw the household over. Thanks for the info!
Yes we live in a socialist utopia, where government officials (we dont have public servants
)create regulation on the fly, for our own safety of course. We don't even have the right to self defense, or to many kinds of repairs to the house. It's quite amusing to see how popular our model is becoming in the US.
I think the best example of how socialism works is our new traffic warning system. The government created a system where they can take over all the radios in the case of an emergency. Maybe three times they took over my radio to announce an accident 400-600 miles away. Lane closed etc. Another three times the person controlling the system just decided to play the country some song he likes.
Last christmas I had my kids over from Asia, and we were on a long ride. We had a huge row because both kids wanted different music. I intervened and announced everyone gets 20min, starting with me. When my 20min was done the kids announced it, and what was to be played next. I put the CD in, and this socialist muther f%#&er took over my radio and starting playing 1950s hits. The kids went ape shit, I tried to sincerely explain that someone has taken over everyones radios but even the kids were smart enough to know that something like that could never happen, and looked at me like I was shitting them. I swear 95% of what our government does is utter madness, maybe the other 5% gives us some good rep.
