audiophile grade sub panel and breakers?

I run a 100 amp 8 position Square D QO sub panel. I use four of the eight 20 amp breakers and keep all four on the same phase. Better grounding at your electric meter helps alot too. I'm using two 10' 3/4" grounding rods, spaced 10" apart, and connected to the electric meter with a 3 gauge grounding wire. If your electric meter grounds directly to a copper water pipe, I'd recommend beefing up your grounding wire. Good luck! Stan

The grounding rods should read "spaced 10' apart", not 10". I went to correct it, but Jj2468 posted as I was making my change. I've done alot with dedicated power, including installing a NEMA box next to my electric meter. It's all on my system page. You could also look at Cincy_bob's system. Mine is a variation of his.

DaddyO brought up a good point about Equi-Tech. When I was researching dedicated power a few years ago, I went to Equi-Tech's website and down loaded the following white papers: "Installing a Technical Grounding System", "Lifting the Grounding Enigma" and "Audio Wiring and Grounding". All three white papers were a tremendous help. Also, using a good electrician is a must. I've occasionally done subpanel work myself (with the power turned off at the main power feed), but the closer I get to the electric meter, the more I rely on my electrician. Stan
