Yes, what I mostly meant by upstream effects is that flipping the breaker obviously turns off a lot of other outlets in Sudo and possibly breaks others' projects.I don't think a space heater was running, but I wouldn't swear to it.David

If most of the outlets are on a single breaker, it doesn't take too much extra to trip a breaker if you have a heater running...PatrikOn Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 11:41 AM, Steve Berl <steveberl@gmail.com> wrote:If people are overloading the circuit breakers, or the breakers are tripping at lower than designed currents, this will not help.Before buying anything you should figure out why the breakers are tripping.-steveOn Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 11:38 AM, David Keenan <dkeenan44@gmail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________Killer. Adam - since I obviously lack the technical literacy to scope eBay for the properly right stuff, might this be something you'd be willing to look for on our behalf - i.e., pass on links to some Adam-approved eBay isolation transformers)?If Sudo does not have the funds to hand to acquire these, depending on the cost I will make a request of Omni Commons to purchase. As I see this as something that will help us pass our Fire Life & Safety inspection for the building..DavidOn Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 11:21 AM, Adam Munich <adam@aperture.systems> wrote:It would be better to get something like this on eBay, because large, ie several kilowatt transformers typically can be had for pennies on the dollar there. Low voltage transformers really don't go bad so the age doesn't matter.

I searched around and found a product like this - Adam would you say this is the right sort of product for sudo or can you reccomend a better / more affordable one?DavidOn Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 11:09 AM, Adam Munich <adam@aperture.systems> wrote:I think the ideal solution here would be to get some form of isolation transformer with an in-line breaker for when people want to fuck with the line. In this way it is very difficult to a) electrocute yourself and b) cause damage to the circuits.
Further if we ever get a safety inspection this would appease people swiftly.
