| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions asp307 said:Regarding a twisted pair or standard cable to link the breaker to the outlet, any advantages or is it all about the grounding?ASp307,It would help if you said what country you live in. I assume it is a country that has 120V power. The ... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions Hi gs5556,Glad to see you posting again.Most manufactures of audio equipment want and need to use a 15 amp plug to feed their equipment. As you know the majority of the convenience outlet branch circuits in homes are 15 amp, using #14awg copper wi... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions I am an easily confused old man.My Atma-Sphere MA-1 140 watt tube amps use 5 amp fuses.When I look at these fuses, the wire connecting one end to the other is absolutely tiny. At my age I need reading glasses to see it. Yes it is that thin.This is... | |

| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions As for the current handling ability of a NEMA 5-15P 15 amp plug vs. a NEMA 5-20P 20 amp plug there isn’t any. If you look at the size of the hot and neutral blades they look exactly the same. Same length, same width, same thickness.What is differe... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions Are there any issues with running 15A power cords into a 20A outlet and line? No, not any problem at all. I am currently using the standard IEC power cords that came with my Rogue Cronus Magnum and VPI Scout 1.1. After about a month or two liste... | |
| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE Putting my previous speculation in more general terms, I suspect basically that the grounding approaches in the two components, possibly in combination with some condition-related issue (such as a leaky line filter capacitor), somehow caused an in... | |
| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE Joe, (jo3533),Thanks for doing the test for me. Had I known you had to pull out the rack I would not not have asked you to try it. Thanks again.AL,Looking at the Adcom Amp schematic wiring diagram again, trying to figure out why when all the outer... |
