I called the engineer at Furman and he said I had a ground loop problem. He suggested I call a local TV or Radio station and find out what electrical company they used. Sure enough they ( local TV station electrical contractor) had a mans name who was the "ground loop expert ) The Furman engineer told me that "power problems" for audio/ video broadcast is more schooled on power issues. ( made sense to me ) I will post the findings and or solution when I get the work done.
Power problems.... Ground, dedicated lines, ect
Might have listed this in the wrong place. Sorry for the double up.
Here is a topic I would love to know the "real answers". Who do you hire to check out your home power coming from your local power company? I had a "local" electrician install 2 dedicated 20 amp outlets. But something tells me my power is not "right". For example, the lights dim when the air conditioner comes on.
1. Can you call your local power company and be assured that the power coming to your breaker box is "right"? How do you get proof? What questions do you ask and are shown that it's right?
2. Is there a brand of breaker box better than what may be installed?
3. Ground? How do you "know" you ground is fully grounded?
4. How do you check outlets? Or find outlet problems?
I have read on here and agree that the best way to build a good system is to start with your power coming to your equipment.
I am using a Furman Elite 20 PFi. Which is their latest greatest before going to their reference products.
I also contacted my cable company and they are changing the signal booster to the new model that is supposed to be up to date.
Any help or info would be appreciated.
