RE: Not Safe

Guys, let me tell you cautionary tale about amateurs and electricity.

Push pull system, friends advise him to place a 50uF motor run capacitor across the line and neutral (240 volts, 50 hertz.
Does so and is highly impressed with the new sound.
He then fits a second one - even better. As always, more is better so in goes third one.

Here we use a Ring Mains system where each half of the ring can support 3 kilowatts. The ring main wiring burns out right back to the main board.
Where two units are plugged into the same socket, that burns out completely.

The fuss over it being dangerous to self, is a bit overplayed.

Regards to all.
