What happens if the leads short together?

Post by hurtmeplease »

Say I am using the 2B and the leads short together or some cum goes between the positive and negative lead (I have no idea what the conductivity of cum is, but I assume it's relatively high).

What happens? Is there overcurrent protection? Does the box blow up / melt down? I've been hyper-vigilent to protect against that, but I wonder now if it matters at all.

Awesome, that's great to know! It'll be nice not to stress about that.

WOW the manual states not to short the Leads so i assumed there was no protection in it
Really nice design to add protection as an added feature since i sometimes just set the machine aside when done
I will still avoid shorting the leads so as not to stress out the machine though
Thanks designers for being so safety conscious

Shorting leads is more an issue for the user. Short the two leads together while you are using it, and then you will feel zero output, however release the short and then depending on the level the box is set to, and the mode you might get an uncomfortable jolt. Not unsafe just a surprise.
