| confused about 20 amp power cables @mintakax said: Are you saying the 10AWG power cord could have been 12 AWG and would have been less expensive? No, not saying that at all. My thinking was, If I had ask about the size of the wiring of the existing 20A dedicated branch circuit... | |
| confused about 20 amp power cables @mintakax said: Thanks! I believe the wire was 12AWG and the run is roughly 60ft. Most of the advice I've received has been to plug the amp into the 20A wall outlet. Hindsight is 2020. I wish I had asked you earlier in the thread about the A... | |
| confused about 20 amp power cables Edit: It would be nice if a reviewer took the time to measure the AC line current at power output clipping. From the owner’s manual specs: Output Power* (Peak) 8 ohm 380 W 4 ohm700 W Peak is not max continuous output power. Just for a rough ... | |
| confused about 20 amp power cables @mintakax Said I read the recent thread you participated in (AC Power in misc-audio), lots of good info in that thread. I may end up putting in a Furman P-2400 at some point. I don’t know enough about P-2400 to recommend it one way or the othe... | |

| AC Power AI Overview The 30-foot (10-meter) minimum conductor distance requirement for Type 3 Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) from the service or separately derived system disconnect is a safety measure to ensure that the SPD is located ... | |
| AC Power Correction: The minimum AIR interrupting rating for a residential dwelling circuit breaker is 10KA. You will see it on the front of the breaker. My bad. That should read: The minimum AIC interrupting rating for a residential dwelling circuit... | |
| AC Power I had a dedicated line installed. Better sound, less noise. Very happy. Good to hear. . | |
| AC Power @erik_squires said: Of course, always follow the rules, but the 30’ requirement AFAIK is to avoid excess current that is too high for the AIR (current interrupt rating) of panel breakers. Not the breaker... The minimum AIR interrupting rating ... | |
| AC Power The Furman specs for the 2400 are: 10 ft. captive 3/12 AWG, black cord with NEMA 20 plug. Mine is still gathered, as I only needed 3 feet, but would think 10’ is accurate. 10 ft. captive 12/3 AWG, @signaforce define gathered. I would not... | |
| confused about 20 amp power cables Food for thought. . Dynamic Headroom. @almarg Said: 02-08-2010 at 08:00am It refers to the ability of an amplifier to deliver a greater amount of power on brief musical peaks than the amount of power it is rated to deliver continuo... | |
| AC Power Point is, no, grounding to a copper water pipe is no longer considered best practice. You want to run a copper wire and bond it to your house ground. The outside grounding block, which your cable installers put in already has this. Don't co... | |
| confused about 20 amp power cables @erik_squires said: Check the fuse rating on the back of your amp. It’s probably a lot less than 20A. :) I don’t have access to the manual but I saw an image which specified 1500W on the back. This should be around 12 Amps. A 15A circuit is gene... | |
| confused about 20 amp power cables @williewonka said: A single receptacle installed on an individual branch circuit shall have an ampere rating not less than that of the branch circuit. True, not less than. The single receptacle installed on an individual branch circuit can hav... | |
