[QUOTE="Raven Luni, post: 465031, member: 30236"] So I'm having a quick glance at the knowledge base section and I see a circuit schematic and the problem its intended to solve and by brain goes into overdrive with ideas - this is the kind of stuff that excites me (and a big part of how I know its the right career change) I'd be interested to see what real electricians think of my thinking. Lets take the earth fault detection example here: It mentions the issue of leakage and a slightly disadvantageous way of reducing it. What if instead of a transformer or a set of (relatively) high power lights, you used something like a set of capacitive droppers which each switched a transistor / optoisolator at very low current (microamps if you use a darlington), which could be used to light some LEDs on a separate DC supply?
