    I have a sump pump in a hot tub pit for when it rains. However I’d like to know if there is a plug that tells me when the pump is on. I.e flashing led.

    Switch mode power supplies and protection class.

    My understanding is that a SMPS does not separate, like a SELV transformer, the secondary from the primary. Therefore presumably the equipment supplied cannot be IEC protection class III. So what class is the equipment? For example a laptop with an SMPS, metal body and high resistance...
