Good points on the resettable fuse too Brian...
I'd be interested in seeing what you can make this for cost wise... sounds like a fun project none the less. What is your highest cost now sans blinky lights?
Are the hubbell receptacles now the most costly part? Being our resident electron mover and shaker, I ask you, what is it about these "hospital grade" receptacles that makes them so expensive? I just wonder if other specialized receptacles used in other applications other than in the hosipital where clean power is a must are any cheaper but of similar build quality, etc.
Does the "toroidial isolation transformer" somehow clean and hold the power? I am so n00bish I feel dumb asking that question
I do know that my amplifier has one though
Then again, I know virtually nil about electrical stuff so who knows
