Starting this thread is something I've been meaning to do for a while and safety is something we should all be interested in here on the DIY forum.
My aim with this thread is to start a discussion resource regarding the subject of safe working practices with electronics, especially live circuits and high voltage circuits but anything relevant is welcome. We're talking isolation transformers, dim bulb testers, RCD's, correct use of handheld multimeters etc.
I hoping that some of the professional techs and experienced DIYers will contribute with their tips and advice and perhaps @Tony L would consider making this tread sticky if it develops sufficiently?
I'll get the ball rolling with the subject of:
240vac to 240vac 1:1 Isolation transformers - What do/don't they do and should I be using one?
