[QUOTE="phil d, post: 442160, member: 27126"] That's a valid point,maybe the powers that be will come up with something, like the board being isolated electrically from the metal case and the case being connected to an earth rod, sounds mad but the way things are going you never know. I've had conversations with people who clearly don't understand things, they make sweeping statements like, "if everything is bonded and rcd'd then you can't get a shock" if only that were true, I don't think we'll ever come up with a way of totally preventing shocks, merely as we have now where we try and limit the time and level of the current that will flow. I must admit it would be nice though, lets be honest we've probably all had a belt at some point by touching something live and simply standing on a floor. [/QUOTE]
