Does Paraguay not have the equivalent of our National Electrical Code, commonly called the NEC? Here in the US, its considered the Bible on how to do electricity safely and legally in those government areas that require it. Perhaps a bit of background on me. Born in 1934, I have an 8th grade "official" education as I quit school in '49 to go fix televisions for a living. I have what was once a 1st phone license, and I am a Certified Electronics Technician & spent about 65% of my working life as a broadcast engineer, where because of the tall towers and their habit of being targets for lightning strikes, I got to understand the physics of it quite well. The point being is that neither I nor my gear cares if a quarter million volt surge comes on the line, if the surge absorbers are working, then the line voltage seen by the equipment will never go above about 175 volts from line to line. The gear can tolerate that for a few millionths of a second. And additional layer of protection is a wireless mouse and keyboard. The air gap may not be over 2", but even that is sufficient it seems to keep me from getting tapped. > Cheers, > > Ron.
