A good presentation @jea48 but not without questionable recommendations and some questionable interpretations of how things work, but still vastly better and debunking so much of what gets posted.
New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement
Hello,
Newbie here and electrical idiot. Just moved to a new to us house in Tampa. Before we moved in I had an electrician put in a dedicated line (has it's own breaker switch) which is 10 gauge and two Furutech GTX-D outlets - Rhodium.
When I hooked up the EMI meter in my old house, which didn't have a dedicated line, the reading was usually around 26 or so IIRC. At the new house the outlets are 89 usually and the dedicated line is usually around 82 - so not much help for the cost of the "project" and pretty noisy.
Also, when the ac /hvac is running the meter reads about 100 points higher (!) for both the regular outlets and the dedicated Furutechs. Not good.
Thoughts? Does the dedicated line need it's own breaker box?
I'm also considering a line conditioner but wanted to see what could be done here. Thanks.

@tomic601 so true. |
@theaudioamp You're new here. What an insulting statement. @jea48 's knowledge and advice is above reproach. Jim's interest and expertise has helped solve the issues of many members over the years. In order to troubleshoot, one must ask questions. I wholeheartedly agree that the receptacles have not had breakin time. A Rhodium duplex takes 200 to 400hrs. of run-in time. Manufacturers such as Furutech state this requirement. |
