Who remembers RS Components ?

The IEC mains filter arrived next day, fitted it this morning, but the label is wrong, Live and Neutral swapped over.
I sorted my application by marking it up correctly.

So what, I hear a few of you say, but these IEC filters can be fitted in equipment, where the mains fuse and or switch is on the live side..

Not a good thing at all, and is unsafe, I emailed RS, this evening, I suggested they investigate it, I suggested that a total recall might be required, I bet that goes down well...
Something to hit the fan on a Monday Morning lol...
I bet they wish I never ordered one now lol...
Possibly banned after my first order lol.:augie

I seem to get premonitions about some things, well more like an act of common sense really.:thumb2

Saw some sharp metal spikes sticking out of a wall display in a shop once, nothing on them, but a child could walk straight into them, face and eyes first.

I said to the shop assistant, get this sorted NOW, I'm not moving until this is resolved. 2 minutes later... sorted.
Usual other things, wet floors etc.

Also the reason why I challenged Alex when he was working under the Terrano with no other support than a jack.

Sometimes we all need a reminder about safety as by our human nature we take chances. I know only too well with a near miss a couple of weeks ago.
