| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @gktaudio As for changing the incorrect AC Power wiring it would be an easy fix for someone with a soldering iron and basic soldering skills. Note, the schematic wiring diagram for the amp. Carver shows the correct wiring sequence. Fuse >>... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @jbhiller What year did you buy the Carver Crimson 275 amplifier? As for ’ your ’ Carver Crimson 275 amplifier did you remove the bottom cover and actually look inside the amp? The photo you posted was not of your amp. It is possible your amp ... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @jbhiller Why is the schematic wiring diagram for the AC mains connection to the switch and fuse connection to the power transformer in the manual different than the unit shown in the photos of the amp in your thread? Also note the schematic wir... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock mrdecibel 2,549 posts 01-20-2022 4:37pm So, the 3rd prong on the ac connector is not grounded ( Crimson 275 ) ? Can someone, with the technical knowledge, explain how this is different to the hot wired 2 prong wire / plug we used... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock The power wiring is correct. From the switch there are two wires, each of which goes to one of the dual primary 120V windings of the mains xfmr. Coming out of the transformer are the two neutrals that tie into the fuse, which then goes out of the... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @atmasphere I would be willing to bet you do not fuse the AC mains neutral conductor in your equipment. The correct way is Hot from the IEC inlet connector to >> fuse to >> switch... Fuse as soon as possible inside the equipment. T... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @jbhiller , What a mess. Sell it and never look back! Good news don’t worry about the DC power supply B+ inside the amp. On the back of the amp is a fuse for the B+. Bad news, from what I see the AC power wiring violates electrical safety stand... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock lowrider57 4,731 posts 01-18-2022 6:08pm Some of Bob’s SS designs also failed to use an earth ground bonded to the chassis. This caused hum when using SE connections due to a difference in ground potential between components. ... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @jbhiller What does this mean?: If one of the hookup wires carrying power/B+ came loose from its soldered weld and touched either the chassis or something conductive to the chassis and the user then touched the chassis/unit with the power on th... | |
| Do I need a 20 amp or 15 amp power conditioner/surge protector @jimmy_jet I think you missed the point I was trying to make. JMHO, a 15A branch circuit, which I assume is a convenience outlet branch circuit consisting of 14 gauge copper wire, is not doing the Dan D’Agostino Progression Stereo amp justice. ... | |
| Do I need a 20 amp or 15 amp power conditioner/surge protector @jimmy_jet said: I see what you’re saying and was thinking the same thing, it logically isn’t adding up, especially when the Dan’s manual says "plug into a 15 amp receptacle", yet, they provide a 12 gauge 20 amp cord with a 15 amp male plug fo... | |

| Do I need a 20 amp or 15 amp power conditioner/surge protector @jimmy_jet 3,000 VA power supply transformer coupled to 400,000 microfarads of power supply storage capacitance. 3000 VA / 120V = 25 amps... Are AC line-treatment devices necessary? Define necessary. "We try to build equipment that puts u... | |
| Fuse voltage difference? Yes providing the physical size of the 125V fuse is the same as the 250V fuse and the circuit voltage the fused will be used is not greater than 125V. The voltage rating of the fuse is for arc across rating protection in the event of a current ov... | |
| Coax Internet Cable: If I have to build one, what am I looking for exactly? On true F-Type RG6 cables, the conductor itself is the actual pin that is inserted into the COAX socket. The "F-Type" connector is just the ground shield and a "screw-on" assembly that holds the cable onto the connection. The coax cable ground ... |
