I’m looking to run some small electronics inside a backbox, with a partially perforated cover. Basically a temp sensor on an ESP8266 - it’ll run off a 5v supply (there is a built in 3.3v conversion on the board I am looking at) taking well under an amp.
There are a bunch of low power small psus available - some of which have CE markings (some of which are rather dubious).
Questions:
- would you put a fuse in-line before the PSU?
As far as I can tell that’s not happening in things like USB equipped sockets.
- is there a better option that I’m not aware of?
Running the same questions past the commercial electrician who is doing first fix at the moment as well, but more heads means additional different experiences of potential solutions.
cheers
