Dedicated Line Advise

Al, always appreciate when you participate. Thanks for reminding me of that thread. Early on in this hobby I only had one line installed since I had low power devices; live and learn.

There's great info that you've provided me and have downloaded it. Through our conversations, you know about the atypical grounding design of my amp and I'm glad you alerted me to possible unpredictable results. (and I had a lengthy conversation with Jensen; thanks).

But adding one or more dedicated lines is still the plan.

Lowrider - The box you have is just another variant of a two phase supply.

The electrician will simply use two switches and ensure they are on the same phase - e.g. switch positions 7 and 8 or 9 and 10 (assuming they are available.)

It does not matter which phase they are located on, as long as they are both on the same phase.

Some people believe having outlets on different phases do not improve SQ - HOWEVER, from a safety perspective, havin all components on a single phase is safer should one component fail, there is no risk of exposure to voltages across two different phases, which is much more dangerous

Placing the new breakers at position 19 & 20 will ensure they are located as far as possible from the noisy appliance breakers.

A separate breaker panel just for the audio circuits might be the quietest solution - but more expensive

Many thanks, williewonka.
You've provided valuable information.

Your mixing phase and leg. There are one 2 legs split from one phase.
Read some of these replys to the phase question, they are in layman terms.

russe41,
So, then the proper way to wire 2 dedicated lines is to have them both on the same leg, yes?
In my case, breaker #1 and 2 are on the same leg. Am I correct?

BANK "A"           BANK "B"
Switch #               Switch #    
1               A             2
3               B             4
5               A             6
7               B             8
9               A           10
.... up to # 20
