Yep, you can do a lot with dry wood, rubber mats, safety eye-wear, and gloves,
if waiting on the log man-cabin to be finished
Or wait till the kids grow up and jack their cubby house
Hey guys, does it actually STRESS the power supplies of CROs and DSOs if you defeat the earth/ground pin ?
will rectifiers fragment,
capacitors burst forth to oblivion,
transformers unwind themselves into a 1960s bad hair day at Woodstock... ?
or is it half baked voodoo BS to scare off clueless prodding fools ?
example: running the oscilloscope from a full floating isolation transformer
or sine wave UPS in back up mode isolated from the mains (and concrete floor!)
240 volts in, and isolated (and fault current limited) 240 out to power the oscilloscope.
How much snafu factor can there be?
