Default Re: Lamp limiter plus Variac tip

Al! Don't do it! The Forum is important, but not that important! We'd all love to know if it works, but we'd hate to lose you in the process...

The authorities have decreed that currents under 30mA for a few milliseconds are sufficiently unlikely to be fatal as to be not worth worrying about. So I would agree with the notion that if it's too low to kill you, it won't trip, and vice versa.
