| New Electrical Circuit @puffbojie My electrical box is outside. Can they encase the (Southwire Armorlite 125-ft 10/2 Solid Aluminum MC (Metal Clad) Cable) inside metal conduit for the outside portion for weather proofing? Not really. The electrician can use a, (ex... | |
| New Electrical Circuit @jea48 Do you normally specify isolated ground and is that why you recommend MC? @devinplombier For a residential house I never recommend an isolated ground. It would not serve any purpose what so ever. FYI even in commercial and ind... | |
| New Electrical Circuit @puffbojie The electricians have it scheduled for 15 amp circuit. My guess, the electrician you are hiring is not an audiophile. He is basing his install of a 15 amp branch circuit on bare minimum electrical code. Electrical code could care l... | |
| Interconnect Break In? A load is needed to complete a circuit for current to travel in the circuit from the source through the load back to the source. No load, no current. No current no electromagnetic fields. Does a closed circuit exist if the preamp is powered off? ... | |
| Interconnect Break In? Does the preamp need to be on? As @ozzy said there needs to be signal passing from the source to a load. Load is the Preamp in this case. Naturally the preamp would need to have the input selected for the CDP. Could the preamp be set to the inpu... | |
| Determining wire phase The wires in my subwoofer are yellow and white. I’m trying to figure out which lead is the positive, which is the negative. @steakster As for the woofer speaker polarity: Use a 1.5Vdc C or a D cell battery. Press either one the two wires on t... | |
| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps . The normal surge testing is at 5kV, which is believed to be the maximum voltage a home could receive from the electric grid. That is according to Wirecutter which is not correct. Wirecutter may use 5kV... The actual recognized testing volta... | |
| Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy @fastfreight Great to hear the cable support worked out for you. Cheap to build too. Even fun... Placing the cup exactly where you want it is a pain. Especially when you used Epoxy. I made three small pencil marks on the plate for installing th... | |
| Resolving Hum with Battery Back-up (EcoFlow) vs Power Conditioners: success vs failure @thaluza Thanks for the kind words. | |
| Resolving Hum with Battery Back-up (EcoFlow) vs Power Conditioners: success vs failure mark200mph 60 posts 04-07-2024 at 05:17am Carlsbad2 is it possible to bypass the ground at the breaker box and run a big earthen spike into the earth and wrap copper wire around much like a lightning rod then run it to you grou... | |
| Resolving Hum with Battery Back-up (EcoFlow) vs Power Conditioners: success vs failure @uberk All is well until it’s not. Food for thought. All those appliances found in your home have micro processors in them. Your air conditioning equipment as well as the heating equipment has micro processors. The AFCI, GFCI, combination GFCI/... | |
| Larry the Cable Guys jea48 said: Increase the wire gauge be it solid or stranded increases the inductance in the circuit. Still can’t believe I said that... No excuse. . | |
| Larry the Cable Guys kijanki Said: What I said before about 4 wires having the same inductance as equivalent 1 wire would be true if 4 wires fit in the diameter of solid 1 wire - not possible because of added insulation. With larger overall diameter of multiple insu... | |
| Larry the Cable Guys @kijanki Said: I believe that he is simply wrong. Thicker wire has lower inductance. I agree... I can’t help thinking what else he was wrong on. @kijanki, I greatly appreciate you chiming in. Jim | |
| Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy @rfprice $50.00 is not that bad of a price. It’s not like it’s a mass produced item. Sure beats paying $80.00. . |
