Special capacitors were made for that job which have a high internal
resistance.

They're called suppressors.

YOU BULL****TING POMMY IMBECILE !!!

Suppression caps are simply caps made for use with the AC mains - like
class X and class Y types.

I think we know that now. Thanks.

Where are the approval marks ?

No Maplin here but I phoned them and got through to the techs without
paying the premium line charge.

They are CE marked and made by these guys.

OK, it's been a long thread and it's hard to keep track of who said what
about what to who. Suffice it to say here that there is no law I know of
that says that you can't replace a class 2 wall wart with a class 1 power
supply.

** Except the laws of physics.

Safety grounding one side of a 12 volt DC or AC adaptor's output will cause
MAJOR damage with the majority of audio devices that use such supplies.

It is usually essential the output be "floating" for the circuitry inside
the box to work.

True. Hence MUST be Class 2.

The stuff I design operates from 208-253V equally well.

** Huh ??

There is a 48 % variation in the output power of an amplifier over that
range.

I won't doubt your figures. Rated power is at 230V.

And yet my Black & Decker drill and a Weller solder gun both have just
a capacitor across the mains switch. Both date from the 1970s (I'm not
hard on my tools) so perhaps rules or good practice has changed since
then.


Special capacitors were made for that job which have a high internal
resistance.


** That is ABSOLUTE CRAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just demonstrating your ignorance again are you Allison? Just because
you've never heard of them doesn't mean they don't exist.


** No such " high internal resistance " caps exist.

But two component in one box "snubbers" with 50 or 100 ohm resistors
have long been available.

So you are now the expert in component manufacture as well as everthing else
are you? Snubbers are not necessarily "two components in one box". In many
cases *one* component supplied both the resistance and capacitance.

So like I said, just because you don't know about something doesn't mean it
doesn't exist.

See my other post. NOT necessarily "two seperate components"

** Post a link that proves that.

In any case, the vast majority are two component

- you lying PILE of POMMY ****

I do wish you'd give up talking about your country like it is the world -
thought only the septics did that.

Cos it would de-earth a normal ( ie all earthed) appliance.

Leads using 2 pin IEC sockets at one end are not " extension leads " -
cos they are adaptor leads.

*Extension* leads with two pin connectors at both ends are readily
available here - for garden tools.

Not to my knowledge in modern history.

A cite would fix the matter of course.
