How to remove ground pin on power cable
From some posts here, apparently many homes continue to be grounded via the water line. Haven't done that here for ages, almost all of the plumbing is PEX, and even on older homes (like mine), enough modern repairs have been made with plastic that it has interrupted that ground path in many instances. Every new home I've been on for over twenty has been grounded to an 8' ground rod at the panel, and for quite a few years now, two 8' ground rods. L. |
I can think of 101 ways by which a chassis can become live. millercarbon’s post should result in his account being terminated. His advice could be L E T H A L !! @nemesis18 - do you have the sub plugged into a different circuit? Is it on the other leg of the power service? Are you sure you need it plugged into a different circuit? See https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/should-subwoofer-be-plugged-into-same-circuit/post?highlight=breaker&postid=1843996#1843996 - A/C circuits can supply several multiples of rated breaker capacity for brief instances ala musical peaks. If your system is properly configured so the sub frequencies are not in the mains, they do not require the power. DBA? Then use an isolation transformer. The life you save maybe your own!!! |
