I think it's time to end the transformer less power supply ban.
I think the liability issue is false.
Multi phase motor controllers with a + 800 VDC bus, without isolation maybe discussed, but not a 120 V r-c or solid state circuit.
With the processor chips and wifi chips, everything will be IOT and networked.
I think this will happen quickly, and that AAC is already behind.
Many manufacturers are showing several methods for power, directly from 120 V and 220 V lines.
Many methods are UL approved.......I would think, because many methods are in use now.
I think in a short time, these IOT devices will be pasted everywhere. Without transformers.
Isolation transformers are great, I've always used them. But they are too costly, bulky and heavy for many more commercial products. Everything is small and lite, yet versatile and connected.
AAC should man up, and be a leader in this new application.
Hobbyist and experimenters will try to apply this whether AAC allows it or not.
I think it is a dereliction to the purpose and spirit of AAC, not to address the safe, proper design and application of these circuits.
The new AAC site has a whole section on IOT. How long or where do we go, to learn how to power it.
If AAC owners are unconvinced, have your marketers go to the other sites, and check the interest in transformer less power supplies.
