Looking for a way to ditch the 20W power brick on this #Apple #HomePod I found an outlet with an integrated 65W Power Delivery 3.0 output :blobfoxcofeowo:

Amerisense GaN 65W 2-Port USB Wall Outlet https://a.co/d/eSRuIcm

Pretty awesome. Only problem is I also need GFCI for this location :blobfoxfacepalm: Turns out there are plenty of USB-C outlets with #GFCI, but none of them go above 5V. Of course the #HomePodMini needs 9V to be happy… :blobfoxglare:

Proud and wiped out
After months of study, I’ve commented on proposed changes to #UL 101, #ApplianceLeakage. I don’t serve on SC101, which is responsible for it, but SC943, GFCIs.
Because #GFCI design doesn’t account for efficient #motors’ #HighFrequency #waveforms, both UL 943 & UL 101 need updates. It may be easier for manufacturers to have #appliance #standards that avoid expensive redesign than to let GFCIs protect the most vulnerable–yet we’re all extrapolating from inadequate #research.

Someone more familiar with #eletrical #wiring and #CircuitBreakers than me please help me understand something: as far as I know, my bathroom has at most a 20 amp fuse. Yet my wife was able to run the heater on low (reported 1500 watts low) and hair dryer (reported 1875 watts) simultaneously. By the math of an online calculator, this should've been just shy of 30 amps. American circuits, so should be 120 volts. Did I miss-math? #electricity #gfci #power #pleaseboost
