Running supply voltage of 60/60 - Vs - 120/Neutral

but i am bonding the ground to everything, from the chasis, to the transformer casing, to the outlet it self on both pri and sec sides, and did run a #1Odd welding cable to bond directly to grounding rod, and this still made no diff, i am moving next week to an apt. and will re-evaluate the system then, i will then do tests to see if this setup does endeed kill the dynamics of the systms sound, as that is what i heard you get with a lot of power filters, as right now this is basically what the service goes through before it hits my equipment:

240V main service into home into primary filter which consists of 1 large inductor filter per phase, then a high energy surge protector, then a small filter cap to ground per phase, after that it runs though the main panel to a dedicated 30 amp 240v circuit upstairs into the "APC" (battery backup) in that it filters the power again, with numerous Torrid filters and filter caps, then it drives the power through SCR's to process the frequency and voltage, (no normal bypass as some battery backups do) then it leavs the APC and goes into my home brew dist block, (the large grey thing next to the apc in the pictures i have up)there it runs though the isolation/step down transformer, then it pases through the EMI/RFI filter (both legs), then to the outlet. and meanwhile the same ground on everything, everywhere.

The input has been config for 240v"

Yes #2 & #3 tied together With the 240V supply connected to terms #1 & #4.

That is correct.

What is the output voltage of the xfmr with the load connected to it? Is the Sub the only load connected to this xfmr?

Any type of filtering on the output of the xfmr? Did you ground one leg of the output of the xfmr? Creating a grounded conductor. I hope so, for safety. If not try that and see if it makes any difference. On your duplex outlets the silver color term is for the grounded conductor as you know. Just for the heck of it make the grounded conductor term #5 of the secondary on the xfmr. Basically you have created a new AC electrical power system and as such you need to make it a 120V grounded AC system. That is why one output lead of the xfmr is bonded to earth ground. This new ground point you have created is also where the equipment grounds of the receptacles will connect to. If you have a metallic main incoming water line this is were I would go to for the earth ground. Is the plug on the Sub a 3wire grounding type?

Sure looks like a lot going on in there.

I just now noticed you summitted a second post I will need some time to digest it. Especially the grounding system and ground rod.

Where do you live?

Jim

Im in independence, Missouri, about 30 miles east of KC.

I had never thought to gound the #5 terminal,but maybee the #0 or the 0Volt tap,i figured it would short the primary, but i will fuse it low and try it, then that would eliminate the 60/60. but i do run the power after the transformer through the EMI/RFI filter, before it hits the outlet.

And this is just for the sub, i still have one other dual coil transformer im using for the rest of the equipment, but the output on both seam to be a little high, around 126 at low to no load, im not sure what the tube stuff likes best, im sure the sub wont mind.
I have a currently unused variac installed and "was" using it to drop output to around 115, for the amp,tv,xbox etc.

"Im in independence, Missouri, about 30 miles east of KC."

From your picture I figured you lived in the midwest, USA. The mahogany woodwork and sprayed on lacquer finish is typical for homes in the 60s,70s, and 80s, in the midwest.

You had me confused for a while when you mentioned the electrical service in you home being 240V. Now I know you meant 120/240V.

"I had never thought to ground the #5 terminal,but maybee the #0 or the 0Volt tap,i figured it would short the primary, but i will fuse it low and try it, then that would eliminate the 60/60."

What 60/60??

This is an isolation xfmr. The primary and secondary are not connected electrically. Where as on the other hand, autotransformers are.

Before you do anything in regard to grounding term #5 on the secondary of the xfmr please explain to me your statement about "60/60". I fail to see it, as for the secondary of the xfmr we have been discussing. All I see is a 120 volt floating secondary with no reference to ground.
