I have a 12 volt DC input, 230v 50hz AC output, 180 watt inverter that I use in my car occasionally. It plugs into the cigar lighter socket and has a short 12 volt flex so I gaffa taped it onto the passenger carpet. I have tested between the heatsink case and the earth on the 13 amp socket with my Halfords multimeter and they seem to be equipotential, but I still think I might sense a slight voltage when I touch it. There is a fuse in it, and I got it for only ten quid at the closing down sale of a local computer shop.
These voltage change inverters are very handy bits of electronic wizardry.
If we go to the seaside for a picnic and use a 230 volt extension cable from the inverter inside the car to a drinks cooler and a ghetto blaster is this an exception from BS7671, as in 110.2 iii, and is it safe for the kids ?
