There were mains rated XLRs and they look like this . . . Image courtesy of Canford Audio However, it looks like these have been outlawed and are no longer manufactured. |

Maybe I had missed the point on the XLR I had viewed and presumed it was the same type of socket as from Graham's psu but that is a Din plug I believe?

It is easy for us to expect and assume GSP's high standards of construction will be to the same standard elsewhere. Best to check things!

The PSU1 DIN socket is on the low voltage DC output. This is OK. If it were on the mains input side we would be guilty of gross negligence!

Yes as with the XLR on the 'other' product - the mains facing socket is an IEC.

James was talking about XLRs used as mains connectors and I illustrated the type which are mains rated, but these have probably been withdrawn over safety concerns, or legislation.
Fully insulated connectors are safer from an electric shock perspective, but plastics will melt and then can cause fires if over stressed. Power supplies should never be covered or "insulated" with extraneous items which could cause them to overheat. They rely on air being in contact with them to dissipate heat, and on hot days this is more important than ever. We advise not to place a PSU1 on carpet as the pile can contact the base of the case which prevents air flow and results in a loss of cooling. |

I must admit I do quite like Graham's tower block arrangement for multiple PSUs and whilst I couldn't accommodate one maybe that is something you could add to your sales catalogue?
