| Ethernet @audioman58 said: which btw digital is not grounded But the chassis of equipment the shielded ethernet cable plugs into may be. I’ve read posts where a shielded ethernet cable caused a ground loop hum. (Had nothing to do the 4 twisted pairs of... | |
| Ethernet @erik_squires I am not an IT professional. I believe you are though. Going to a higher cat than your source and switch supports doesn’t help anything. The OP didn’t say what type of internet/speed he has coming into his house. I think that wou... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner @califortini I see you live about 400 miles from LA. Be safe... It’s hard to believe how fast and far the Santa Ana Winds have spread the fires. It looks like a war zone. . I thought the outlet would be a quick swap but looks like I have t... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner @devinplombier Just so you know the Equitech 1.5Q is a Balanced Power 60Vac - 0Vac - 60Vac System. It is not like the 120/240Vac power system that feeds your home. 120/240Vac,... 120Vac - 0Vac -120Vac Both have split phase secondary windings.... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner @devinplombier said: o, essentially the outlets on the back of the Equitech are wired the same way as old 240V appliances, No not all all. Click on the Link below. Look at the secondary winding on the right hand side of the transformer. http... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner @erik_squires I believe this is what @oddiofyl is referring to. The drawing is showing one cycle in time. https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/transformer-trans63.gif The drawing shows a single phase, split phase, powe... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner but now you have another path which is participating in that current flow. That is correct. I have been wondering if somehow the provided parallel path is what caused the GFCI to trip. My math above says 3mA. I doubt that was the reason the GFC... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner @erik_squires said: The other thing is that when doing so on a live home circuit you are essentially shorting the entire home’s neutral to ground. It’s already at ground potential. At the service panel the service entrance neutral conductor, e... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner @erik_squires I agree. But if it doesn't that doesn't say it's not. JMHO... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner EDIT: Food for thought. My test there was a difference of potential of 1.2mVac from the neutral contact to the EGC. With the Equitech 1.5Q there is a difference of potential of 50Vac. My above comment is based on a piece of the OP’s equipmen... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner @erik_squires While you were thinking I proved myself wrong. I performed a simple test. I picked a GFCI outlet in the kitchen. Verified the AC polarity was correct with a multimeter. (That is a must for the test) I installed a wire jumper fro... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner @erik_squires Say there is a small leakage ground fault in one of the OP’s equipment to chassis. Say it is on the neutral wire inside of the equipment. When the piece of faulted equipment is plugged into an outlet on the Equitech 1.5Q current ... | |
| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner Maybe take the suspect piece of gear to your kitchen counter and see if you can trigger one of those outlets. @erik_squires FYI, the two 120V power systems are not configured the same. Though both, the OP’s, electrical service and the Equitech... | |
