I'm in the process of ditching all of my power bricks and moving everything to redundant Mean Well NDR series power supplies.
One of the things I haven't liked prior to this is the way GFCI protection has worked. Unless I setup a mess of GFCI outlets, I was stuck with a single point of failure where one bad piece of equipment shuts down at best a significant portion of the system. In 4 years I only had it happen once, but it happened and I was fortunate to be around when it did.
So with this update, I'm looking to setup device level GFCI, that'll cut off only the offending piece of equipment. On the LV side of the power supplies.
Now, before I get too far down this rabbit hole of hall effect current sensors, comparators, 555 timers, latches, and relays, has anyone seen LV GFCI devices that aren't a couple hundred bucks per circuit?
