Good advice all....
AC Power Question
I am repositioning my system and need to install ac outlets. I assume its a good idea to have a dedicated circuit for my system below ( stereo only). Should i have 2 dedicated circuits? 15 or 20 amps? I may also have a power conditioner in the loop as well. Thanks in advance for any thoughts and advice on do's and don'ts....

noromance"if using two runs off two breakers, make sure they are on the same phase or you could get noise" That is myth, fiction, and misinformation there is no truth, validity, or basis for this claim where do you think the "noise" will come from! |
There is a member in here that knows the NEC like the back of his hand, maybe he’ll chime in. I’m a retired electrician and the the NEC code book has been revised quite a few time since I left the field. I will tell you this, different phases for those isolated circuits, and if you want to take it to another level think isolation transformers. |
@jea48 and @almarg are the experts on this subject. Hopefully one of them will join in. They advised me when installing my dedicated lines. I'm running my analogue and digital on separate dedicated 20 amp circuits into separate Hubble duplex receptacles. In my case, I have a subpanel for my audio lines. Both lines on the same leg with equal distribution of current draw from devices and appliances to the sevice panel. |
@ lowrider [quote] Both lines on the same leg with equal distribution of current draw from devices and appliances [/quote] Same leg means same phase and you just caused an imbalance at the main panel. In some cases thats minimal but rule of thumb is to keep the panel balanced. I believe it was jea who is code savvy, been a lil whiles. |
