| Dedicated Line ....... my system SUCKS this dedicated line of 10 gauge wire is only 12 feet to the outlet. It seems as if a 20 amp receptacle is the highest rating for a duplex outlet - I was going to install a 30 amp breaker but not sure if I would realize its potential.Lezdam,I doubt... | |
| dedicated power line I'm hoping someone can tell me about romex 10ga. vs. 10ga. wire that comes from a co. called Colonial, it says 600V on the wire. 01-28-11: Phillykid Phillykid,Building wire for power, (120V up to and including 480V carries a 600 V rating. The cond... | |
| AC Power - two circuits better than one? Louislovesemy,Sounds good except use 20 amp breakers instead of 15 amp. Most audio grade receptacles are 20 amp. (NEMA 5-20R). Technically per NEC code a 20 amp receptacle can not be installed on a 15 amp branch circuit. | |
| Amplifier heat depending on power cable? 2. As voltage decreases, current increases.01-23-11: HeyrazMotors yes, transformers no.... Voltage drop on the primary will cause a voltage drop on secondary proportional to the windings turns ratio. | |
| My Oppo hums Nonoise,Per NEC code the CATV grounding block has to connect to the main grounding electrode system of the main electrical service. | |
| My Oppo hums Does the Burson PI-160 use the equipment ground, third wire? If so you may have a ground loop problem.If you have a CATV or SAT cable system and it is connected to the audio system in anyway then the hum could be ground loop related.... For a test... | |
| Dimmer switch on the same electrical line Depends on the dimmer and it depends on the quality of the power supply in the amp. Many of the cheaper dimmers will cause DC offset voltage back out on the AC line. This DC offset will cause a toroidal power transformer to buzz louder than normal... | |
| AC Power - two circuits better than one? These circuits have three wires each - Hot, Neutral and Ground.12-18-10: PuertoPuerto,If that is the case then you have 4 dedicated circuits.....Each circuit has its own hot, neutral, and equipment ground.Each of the (4) duplex receptacle has its ... | |
| AC Power - two circuits better than one? I took the advice of Jea48 and switched the wires on one pair of breakers in the main panel box and that action put all of my equipment on one leg of the incoming power.12-17-10:Puerto Puerto, Not sure exactly what you did..... With a 3 wire multi... | |
| AC Power - two circuits better than one? I would assume that circuits 1 & 3 would be on leg 1 because they are odd numbers while circuits 2 & 4 would be on leg 2. 12-13-10: PuertoIs the power that feeds your home 120/240Vac?If yes do you have any equipment or appliances that use ... | |
| AC Power - two circuits better than one? Circuits #1 and #3 are on one leg of the circuit breaker box and Circuits #2 and #4 are on the other leg of the circuit breaker box.12-13-10: PuertoPuerto,Most if not all electrical panels made in, at least, the last 25 years have the odd number b... | |
| AC Power - two circuits better than one? Salmonsc,If the circuits are fed from the same leg you will measure zero volts from the hot slot contact of one branch circuit receptacle to the hot slot contact of another branch circuit receptacle. If you measure 240V between the two measured br... | |
| ARC vt100mkiii Questions? I set it to 60 and the bass seems to get better. 12-08-10: Luna60? Not 65? If you do not have the owners manual you could call Leonard at ARC. He will tell you the proper setting.Phone 763-577-9700 http://www.audioresearch.com/service.>http://w... | |
| ARC vt100mkiii Questions? Luna,First off I do not own a VT100 MK3.If the boards are new you will need to put some time on the components. Resistors, capacitors, ect. At least 100 hours with signal flowing I would think.Are the driver and power tubes new? If new they also w... | |
