Electrician Coming Over What to Do?


OK, the electrician is coming over to put in more cable and a sub panel. Do I install a home surge protector, dedicated lines at what amperage? DO I use standard cable or JPS Labs wire? Help, one more week to go.

Thanks

There seems to be some confusion on isolated ground circuits. I am not implying you should add a second ground rod to obtain an I.G. circuit. Just tie your isolated ground to the ground bar at the meter if possible or to the ground rod itself. Rarly do I add a second ground rod and 99 times out of 100 I bond the two rods together when I do.
Glen: a TRUE "isolated" ground is just that, "isolated" from all other grounds. Having a ground path that runs directly back to the earth ground from the audio circuitry without tying into any other circuits would be called a "dedicated" ground. Obviously, this wording could still get us into trouble and keep us confused. While all of this boils down to a matter of wording and semantics, i think that we are standing on the same basic "ground" and have "common" thoughts about the subject : ) Sean

I agree Sean but let's not get to carried away. We still need to tie them together at ground level or under the earth. We wouldn't want to go outside the N.E.C. requirments just to make are music sound a little better, Or would we?
