The connectors in the primary circuit are not protected against accidental disconnection by any means other than soldering. A loose wire under mains voltage could consequently touch the accessible secondary circuit. The insulating material is not suitable for resisting the thermal stresses to which it is subjected and could distort making live parts accessible. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60950.
