It is legal in denmark for example under special constraints: Special safety transformer is used Output voltage is below 48V peak Cable is approved for the application (because the fire regulation directive comes into play when doing LV high current stuff - far greater risk of fire hazards) No permanent installation is approved - power for the transformer needs to come from an normal outlet (allthough this practice is seldomly withheld) Cheers Klaus
