Slightly OT - CTE
Hi
As I understand it, 110v power tools are considered safer because the 110 volt supply is Center Tapped to Earth, so any shock would be 55 volts - I'm not sure exactly how this works - could someone explain please? Does this only apply to universal (brush) motors? Secondly, I also understand that a power tool with an induction motor (saw bench, pressure washer) in 110 volt can't be CTE, so any shock would be 110v. Is that right? Dave |
