| 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. Continuous by code is three or more hours.The power amp manufacture may have installed the 20 amp IEC ... | |
| Dedicated lines What was installed, based on my reviewing the runs, was inside metal conduit (which i believe is code in my area considering how it was run - semi exposed in a "crawl space" ceiling. There were 3 wires + - ground.08-18-09: CkoffendThere were 3 wir... | |
| Dedicated lines Thanks guys for your input. Is there a prefered splicing guide somewhere that I might consult or is it just a twist and shield situation? 08-10-09: Markus1299Markus are you going to do this job yourself or are you having an electrician do the job?... | |
| 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... | |
| Grounding ? Please explain 'leakage'. I have heard the term but am unfamiliar with its use in this case. 08-10-09: MagfanCharles Hansen on the subject. 1) Reversed AC polarity -- All power transformers have an inherent asymmetry to their construction. The pri... | |
| Grounding ? My recommendation is to check NOT to ground, but between system components. IF there is voltage present, I would consider swapping hot/neutral where the power pigtail gets to the first terminal strip or whatever.08-10-09: MagfanIf there is a diffe... | |
| Grounding ? Which raises another question, why do some amp manufacturers include a ground lift switch. 08-09-09: PhdThe switch only lifts the signal ground from the chassis. Never the safety equipment ground from the chassis/enclosure.. | |
| Bad Hum Coming Through Amp, What Happened? Out of the blue a couple of weeks ago, a nasty hum has started to emit from the amp through the speakers, audible starting at 20-25% of the volume output and louder as the volume increases.Ground loop hum as a rule is volume independent. Therefore... | |
| question about installation of 20 amp wall plug I have installed 15 amp plugs before with no problem and I thought I had this one installed right but I guess not.07-10-09: KedoadesKedoades,Why not pull the recept out and check how you have it wired?(Of Course remember to turn off the power firs... | |
| question about installation of 20 amp wall plug Chuck,Al pretty much hit the nail on the head with his answer. Though just to add to Al's response the overcurrent device, breaker, determines the branch circuit size. Even if the wire size is #12 but the breaker is a 15 amp then a 15 recept would... | |
| question about installation of 20 amp wall plug Please clarify ... the PS Audio Ports are rated for both 15amp and 20amp I'm told. Can they be installed in a 15amp dedicated line?07-09-09: Taylor514The receptacle will accept a NEMA 5-15P or 5-20P amp plug.Technically by code a 5-20R receptacle ... | |
| question about installation of 20 amp wall plug The receptacle has nothing to do with how much current is drawn, what is plugged into the receptacle does.07-09-09: TpreavesTrue but the face plate of the receptacle configuration determines what plug can be connected to it.The max continuous load... |
