| How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? Hire a Power Quality Testing Company. Cost per hour $150 - $250. A heck of a lot cheaper than buying a Power Quality Analyzer. Example of a Power Quality Analzer: You would only need one for single phase power. https://www.myflukestore.com/categor... | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits To add to my last post. If a duplex receptacle is split and the two receptacles will each be fed by a separate branch circuit NEC 210.7 shall apply. (It doesn’t matter if one is fed from L1 and the other from L2 or both circuits are fed from two b... | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits I would be remiss if I did not mention if an Electrical Contractor/Electrician was hired to install four 120V branch circuits he/she would not install MWBC (s). The reason is the NEC requires all new 15A and 20A branch circuits supplying outlets, ... | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits dhite71 OP149 posts 08-08-2021 6:23pm I have been thinking more about my 12/3 wire configured for two separate circuits. There is a single neutral and ground wire going back to the panel. Does this matter when all neutral and ground wires in a h... | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits dhite71 OP147 posts 08-08-2021 12:23pm @jea48 I did the 2nd scenario you described. I chose this because when I went to Lowes to pick up the Romex they had a bundle of 12/3 wire that was 1/2 price due to a return. Ther... | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits builder3454 posts 08-08-2021 12:46pm I think you’ve now protected your 12 wire circuits with a 40A breaker, which is a huge mistake. Correct. The breaker needs to be a 2 pole 20 amp breaker. | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits I'm not suggesting power conditioners don't work- in fact, they may work effectively in eliminating more than what you intended.TrueMost of the ac mains "dirty power" found in our houses is caused by devices, equipment, and appliances, found in ... | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits I ran 4 new lines to my music room. There are two wall receptacles where I removed the tab on each to have each outlet on the duplex a dedicated circuit. I have my amp, preamp and phono stage plugged into 3 and a monster power center plugged into... | |
| Quality outlets for non-audio I would suggest you buy a few of these as well. Install the main body of the bracket on the duplex receptacle neutral connection side. (See photos left side of bracket) https://www.homedepot.com/p/RACO-1-Gang-Flush-Fit-Wall-Plate-Spacer-3-Pack-999... | |
| Dedicated Circuit @ tvad Thanks for the kind words. Jim | |
| Electric feedback from water circulation pump @mganga Just using a capacitor will not solve your problem. And going bigger may cause problems on other AC mains powered devices in your home. Too much capacitance can cause a leading PF (Power Factor) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor#L... | |
| Putting in a dedicated power line. 2 receptacles ok? @theo Both Line 1 (L1) and Line 2 (L2) alternate down each side of the panel. That’s how 240V load(s) can be fed from a 2 pole breaker.Example: Left side... Right Side L1 .................. L1 L2 .................. L2 L1 .................. L1 L2 ... | |
| Putting in a dedicated power line. 2 receptacles ok? lowrider574,399 posts 07-20-2021 3:03pmin your breaker box you have two sides or rows of breakers. By having them on opposite sides the ground is then not interacting with each other which reduces noise. I had a master electrician do the install... | |
| Putting in a dedicated power line. 2 receptacles ok? Putting in a dedicated power line. Is it ok to put in 2 power receptacles at the end of it, or stick with one? Meaning 4 outlets. Im putting in Audioquest NRG Edison outlets. deanshias @ deanshias Yes you can. The branch circuit is dedicated to f... | |
