Thanks Exray
What does the safety cap do over a regular cap? Because if it connects to power cord lead, and lead to on off switch on one end of the cap. and the other end of cap to ground. Than It doesn't have the ability to break the circuit because the two leads would still be directly connected. Or am I missing the point of a safety cap.

thanks
Bob
