Anyone able to find the manufacturer of this transformer? Someone should buy a pair, plug it into 230/240V outside with and without a fuse just to demonstrate the difference $0.2 makes. Photonicinduction style?
What we really need is another one of these and
not pull the plug after six seconds. See what happens if it's left alone.
They were drafting an electrical safety standard. Not a convenience standard.
This thread has nothing to do with "standards", it's here because:
a) Weller should know better than to sell an unfused device that could
easily end up in a different country in 2018 (eg. ebay has been around for over 20 years).
b) The letter they wrote was pathetic. Clearly written by some management type using third-hand information.
Anybody quoting standards at each other has clearly missed the main point: Weller knows better than to do this, but didn't.
