| Light bulbs are constanly burning out Can I check the voltage myself with a multimeter? If so how?Agree with with Al...... But just remember the voltage reading will only be for that moment in time.I suggest you talk to the other tenants in the 4plex.See if they are having the same pr... | |
| Light bulbs are constanly burning out I have this issue in Austin. My voltage is about 127 volts.09-10-09: Jfrech127V is too high... For residential customers the utility company is supposed to keep the voltage with-in (+ or -) 5%. 120V being the base line.You should contact your uti... | |
| Light bulbs are constanly burning out Nick_sr,I would suggest you contact the landlord or building manager.The problem could be a loose service entrance neutral conductor.Have you ever noticed all of a sudden some lights get brighter at times while other go dim?First call should be to... | |
| Live equipment chassis Albert,LOL, or you could get a 25% stainless steel thread suit like this guy wears. | |
| Live equipment chassis Kiwi_1282001,Can you be more specific?..... Other than a static electricity charge shock an electrical shock from our home's electrical power source requires a point of entry and a point/s of exit.Example, in one hand out the other. Or from a hand... | |
| Amplifier Hum - A Problem Solved Hoff48,You might try installing a small isolation transformer on the line side of the low voltage lighting power supply. The isolation transformer should block the DC offset voltage from passing from the secondary winding to the primary winding, o... | |
| Electrical Question - dumb one - but a good one The VooDoo/Hubbell IG8300 is superior in the following ways: The ground terminal is isolated from the lead and neutral circuits to reject ground loop noise and electromagnetic interference.What?!. | |
| Building addition: cable runway recommendations Idfnl,Reading your post I assume you want to have the raceway/s concealed inside the wall and connect to some type of concealed outlet box with a finish wall plate.Carlon Ent flexible conduit may be the way to.You may also want to check the boxes ... | |
| Electrical Question - dumb one - but a good one What is the input AC power consumption of the Amp?Volt amps, watts, or amperes? A 120V 15 receptacle by code can handle 1440 watts continuously.

| Step Transformer for BAT VK150 m can it work Albert,Check out the schematic provide in your link for the transformer. Odd the unfused side of the 120V secondary side of the transformer is not connected to earth ground. The 120V secondary is floating....... Is yours floating? | |
| Step Transformer for BAT VK150 m can it work Good chance you will get the best performance from the amps if you have BAT change out the transformers....Stepping up the voltage from 120V to 220V can be done cheaply with a converter. Converters are usually autotransformers. Best way is with a... |
