Copper Sleeve over IEC

Chrissan,
I just talked to 1 electrical engineering at my work and, just like you brought it up earlier, he too rec'd to run a ground wire from a coupler to the classis. Verified.
He thinks to design a "metal hat" like Marantz do to their REference lines to shield up the entire transformer is not a bad idea...

Brought my EIC connector in local Ace hardware for sizing but their biggest size avail. for copper coupler was half inch or 3/8". Does any one have the part number from Lowes of Home Depot?

Nasaman,

Lowe's is a better bet, even though I found their bins a complete mess.

#222144 corresponds to a 1-1/2" coupler.

Bring your cord and get the size that fits closest, you may need 1-1/4" so
read the label on the coupler to verify.

Thansk,I have the standard Wattgate plugs so will see. An engineering guy said that it isn't have to be copper. It can be brass or else, what matter is its thickness. He also added, other material that can actually "neutralize" magnet is called Mu-metal, but then it'll have side effects as well, and he went on... to probably few pages if I type all down. I'll stick with copper.

Nasaman,
Yeah you could probably get away with steel or aluminum too, but copper is pretty easy to get.. Brass would be really heavy and pull on your connection a lot depending on the thickness.. Standard Wattgate connections you will need exactly 1.25" or in otherwords 1-1/4" INNER diameter couplers if you want the perfect fit. 1.5" will be larger than your wattgate and you would need to put some type of spacer, either wrapping a thick line of electrical tape, or some thick double sided tape if you just want to hold it in place.
