| Quick Dedicated Line Question? Yes.....That is if you want true dedicated circuits.Conductors that occupy the the same raceway will pick up common EMI/RFI interference.Also if you do go with a single conduit make sure the electrician does not give you 2 separate circuits, multi... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? Herman,Sorry bout that.... I meant EI....If the shield is tied to the neutral and the neutral line is tied back to earth ground I'm not sure if the lack of the 3rd line makes a difference, but I don't think all countries use polarized plugs with t... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? I was wrong and Elizabeth is right. The risk of death or injury from floating a ground is so low it is not a practical concern.I apologize for my previous comment.01-29-12: HermanSorry, to broad of a statement.If the OP's cord in question was used... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? That is a universal 100-240 switching supply. Since outlets in many countries don't have a 3rd prong for ground it would have to be designed to not need one.01-28-12: Herman Herman,You could be right..... I checked the Net for an owners manual for... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? Anyway, I have a 2-prong power cord with a 3-prong IEC female end that came with my Luxman amp. Eugene81That is just one of the problems with IEC connectors. For some reason here in the USA IEC connectors have next to no safety standard rules/requ... | |
| Isolation transformer - getting full, rated kva It's 220/440-120/240.01-04-12: NgjockeyNgjockey,If that is indeed the case, and each primary winding is wound for 220V and the secondary will output 120/240V then I would first bench test the xfmr. Good chance the voltage at his service electrical... | |
| power cable length importance The power for a typical residential house starts at the utility power transformer, that is after all a split phase isolation transformer. Or as some call balanced power....A power cord is an extension of the leads of the primary winding of the pow... | |
| power cable length importance Depends on the manufacturer's design of the PC. Is the cable shielded and how it is designed to block RFI/EMI from entering or exiting the equipment it is connected to.Since a power cord is composed of a hot and neutral wire that the component sit... | |

| How Much DC is OK on a Power Line? Ralph,I am not dismissing what you are saying about odd harmonics. They can and do play havoc on AC power systems.They can cause the secondaries of power distribution transformers to run hotter than normal. And yes be mechanically noisier than nor... | |
| How Much DC is OK on a Power Line? What does one AC line conductor, (neutral conductor), of the electrical service intentionally connected to earth have to do with it. The main reasons for connecting the service neutral conductor to earth is for lightning protection and to establis... | |
| How Much DC is OK on a Power Line? Not sure what a center-tap on the primary would have to do with DC voltage on the mains.Nelson Pass The one and only If you are experiencing mechanical hum from yourtransformer, it is often caused by the presence ofDC on the line. Usually this com... |
