| Wiring 2 outlets to 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits with a single 10/3 electrical wire. @emergingsoul said: You say that, Zero amps will return on the shared neutral conductor to the source). Well it’s a fact... That is how a center tapped single phase 120/240 secondary winding of a step down transformer works. Watch this video ... | |
| Wiring 2 outlets to 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits with a single 10/3 electrical wire. @emergingsoul said: The issue is trying to clarify why noise somehow is affecting the outlet in a manner that impacts performance of a system. Maybe why noise from one circuit is affecting audio equipment connected to the other circuit of the ... | |
| Wiring 2 outlets to 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits with a single 10/3 electrical wire. EDIT: (12-20-2022 at 10:08pm post) jea48 said: A multiwire branch circuit is merely an extension of the split phase winding of the utility power transformer. Replace the word merely with the word basically. A multiwire branch circ... | |
| Wiring 2 outlets to 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits with a single 10/3 electrical wire. @bikeboy52 Bad Idea... A true dedicated branch circuit has a dedicated, Hot conductor, neutral conductor, and equipment grounding conductor. A true dedicated branch circuit does not share a raceway, (conduit), or cable with other branch circ... | |
| Wiring 2 outlets to 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits with a single 10/3 electrical wire. @emergingsoul said: Are you saying that the neutral sharing back to the panel is a problem? It’s more than that. It’s the way a multiwire branch circuit works. I have been trying to find this Web Link for the last couple of days. It was in my... | |
| Wiring 2 outlets to 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits with a single 10/3 electrical wire. @emergingsoul said: Yes I know both new circuits or an alternating legs, and that could be a real weakness. But if all the legs where I live are generally quiet then I don’t see the problem on this point. Got Digital Front End Equipment? T... | |
| Wiring 2 outlets to 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits with a single 10/3 electrical wire. emergingsoul OP 481 posts 12-20-2022 at 08:52am Jea48 What the heck are you talking about? @emergingsoul , Probably the biggest reason for installing more than one Dedicated Branch Circuit is to decouple the power suppli... | |
| Wiring 2 outlets to 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits with a single 10/3 electrical wire. @tump350 Said: One circuit for the digital front end, the other circuit for the preamp and monoblocs. Would you believe all the digital hash going back out on the power AC Lines from the digital equipment is dumped onto the power transform... | |
| Wiring 2 outlets to 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits with a single 10/3 electrical wire. @emergingsoul , Don’t do it! Are you trying to save money on the wiring and installation? Not a good place to cut costs. I can’t believe the number of posts I have read lately where audiophiles have used, or are considering using, this type ... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @bigtwin Said: bigtwin 470 posts 04-21-2022 at 02:33pm Just to end this discussion (for me anyway), I will do my ultimate comparison. I have purchased 70 feet of Romex 10/2 Simpull wire and ordered Furutech GTX-D(R) Dupl... | |

| Dedicated Line - Things to consider @whart . Thanks for the kind words. Best regards, Jim | |
| Advantage using one electrical leg for audio system? then is the way OP did it preferable to running two circuits of 10-2 with two separate neutrals? NO.. Two 10/2 with ground Romex cables fed from single pole breakers fed from the same Line, Leg,... IS Much, Much, better than what you have ... | |
| Advantage using one electrical leg for audio system? If it bothers you, an electrician can probably move wires around in your panel to keep both lines on the same leg. an electrician can probably move wires around in your panel to keep both lines on the same leg. No he can’t... The OP has a 3 ... | |
| Does a higher gauge electrical wire impact voltage level? Most amplifiers are "unregulated." Meaning long term (several seconds) changes in the AC line will make it to the amplifier voltage rails. So if your DC rails are +- 50V with 120VAC input, they will vary in proportion to input. They could be 45V ... |
