How to remove ground pin on power cable
This is a power cable being used for my subwoofer. I have a ground loop currently. According to the manufacturer of my subwoofer, due to it's design, it is perfectly safe to remove the ground. Right now I do so with a cheater plug but I would like to avoid having to use it. The power cable in question is Oyaide Black Mamba V2
How easy is it to take a power cable apart and disconnect the ground? Is it best to do so at the IEC side or the pronged side? What is the process for doing this?
Thanks

While it's not likely to get a shock from a sub, if it was grounded, I would try and keep it that way. The ground loop is most likely from cable TV. Unscrew it and see. Find a way to break the ground there. Jensen Transformers is a good solution.https://www.jensen-transformers.com/home-theater/video/ |
Yikes if you insist on the removal of the ground pin at least install a GFCI receptacle in the place of the standard outlet. In the event your sub has an issue it will trip before any damage to person or property. Some of you do not have the understanding of how an electrical system functions. Stick with what you know. It is dangerous to advise on thing that can cause damage to people and/or property. Remember true intelligence is knowing when not to advise. |
