| Another dedicated circuit question @immatthewj I found out that three dedicated lines was another mistake I made. Not really... If the correct type of branch circuit wiring is used, and the correct method of installing the branch circuit wiring is used. I have two dedicated ... | |
| FUSE Question...Very Confused Please Help ! @ieales The amplifier is designed in Germany. EU has 230V AC mains power. As stated the amplifier is made to be fed by 230V or 110V. The odd thing, at least to me, is the 110V mains feed. Not sure how the designer arrived at 110/230V. Usually ... | |
| FUSE Question...Very Confused Please Help ! Owner manual specs: 500VA Max power consumption. 500VA / 110V = 4.55A. The designer of the amp only bumped the fuse up 110%. 4.55A X 110% = 5A. A 5A slow blow fuse seems a little tight to me for the amplifier... 500VA / 230V = 2.18A X 110% = 2.... | |
| FUSE Question...Very Confused Please Help ! @rocky1313 From page 6 of owner manual: V S – Mains Voltage Switch (12) VOLTAGE SELECTOR The Penta 5.1 amplifier can be used in all countries and is good both for 110/115 and 220/230 V. Before the first operation, please make sure that ... | |
| FUSE Question...Very Confused Please Help ! @rocky1313 Use a 250V rated fuse per the fuse holder as stated. 250V/5A #2. AC 110: S5A... 110 is the AC Line voltage setting for the Amp when the wall outlet mains voltage is 110V - 120V. (S5A 250V fuse.) Are you sure the fuse is a S5A? Using... | |
| Ground voltage!! This thread is excellent at demonstrting how clueless this forum is about electricity. It will be hard for the OP to figure out what to do based on the various answers here. It appears you have properly measured 80 volts ground to neutral. ... | |
| Ground voltage!! bushikai OP 10 posts 11-04-2022 at 04:03pm Hello, Sorry for the confusion is 80 volts earth and neutral. @bushikai Just a guess your multimeter was set on auto scale and you read 80 mV (millivolts). Not 80 volts. Look to... | |
| Isolated ground in dedicated room/new construction? Would it present as sounding grainy /static? I figured the recordings that have some grain were from the recording. @ronboco Possibly. For a test, turn off the circuit that feeds the dimmers and LED lights at the electrical panel. The... | |
| Isolated ground in dedicated room/new construction? @ronboco Yes, and that includes the branch circuit wiring from the load side of the switch to light fixture(s). When can lights are used in a ceiling it can be a challenge to route the new dedicated branch circuit cable(s) from the parallel runn... | |
| Isolated ground in dedicated room/new construction? EDIT: Also avoid running the three dedicated circuits parallel to other branch circuit wiring. Should read: Also avoid running the three dedicated circuits parallel in close proximity to other branch circuit wiring. Especially LED Lighting ci... | |
| Isolated ground in dedicated room/new construction? Room will have have 3 dedicated 20 amp home runs for the system using 10 gauge 10/2 romex with ground, terminating with PS audio IG 120v outlets. terminating with PS audio IG 120v outlets. @frym Did you run that by the builder’s electricia... | |
| Dedicated circuits where to buy a magnetic breaker? You won’t buy em for your electrical panel... Only T-M, Thermal-Magnetic, breakers are available. The Thermal protection unit of the breaker is for overload protection of the branch circuit wiring. The magnetic ... | |
| Dedicated circuits @immatthewj Myth is a breaker will trip when the current passing through the breaker reaches its handle rating. NEMA requirements says a breaker must trip in less that one hour if overloaded 135%. It also says a breaker must trip within 2 minut... | |
| Dedicated circuits if a 15A breaker was in front of a circuit that was made of 12-2 Romex and 20A outlets, wouldn’t that be safer? I mean, the 15A breaker would trip way before the 12-2 or the 20A outlet got hot enough to catch fire, right? No you can not put a 2... | |
| Dedicated circuits Current doesn’t always go up when voltage goes down, it’s a little more complicated than that. That is true. For AC induction type motors if voltage goes down due to Line voltage drop, current go up. Not so for audio equipment power transforme... |
