| Jan 4, 2016 at 11:27 | comment | added | Brann | @FakeMoustache, for a typical electrical cabinet with 40 fuses, it would double the cabinet size and cost 600$+. I'm not considering doing it tomorrow, I just want to work on this on 12vac current as an educational project, but I'm curious whether it could work in the real world as well - if done properly of course! | |

You should not switch powerlines like that, electrical equipment that is using that line will not thank you (they will break). I suggest you get some $15 power monitors and use these on in a socket. I do not see how you could implement a cheaper solution. Any changes in your electrical cabinet will always cost more, are dangerous and must be done by a professional ! | |
