If you should decide to rearrange your household loads in the distrubution box, don't get so carried away that you wholly unbalance the loading of your drop transformer. You want basically equal current loads on both phases, when all loads in the house are operating. I measured all the loads with a clamp-on Amprobe & then put the noisiest ones on the other phase from the dedicated line, maintaining an overall balance as secondary objective. This becomes even more important when commercial power fails for a long time & we have to fire up the backup generator.
electrical phase
1- I see many recommendations for dedicated power lines that they be wired out of phase from the rest of the home.
2- I also see posts touting the benefits of correct electrical phase at the component.
- is correct elec. phase truly important
- is wiring audio lines opposite of the rest of home cuurent important?
if both, then what should one do? wire the audio lines in proper phase and the rest in opposite phase? can running electrical lines out of phase cause damage to gear or appliances?
