New Subpanel?


I am planning to install a new subpanel for the my dedicated stereo room. What is the recommend brand of panel and breakers should I install?

Thanks

I agree with Rives, if money is no concern the Equi-Tech wall mount unit is the way to go. Sorry Rocky, I don’t have a website for the Xentech Extreme isolation transformer. You would have to do some research to locate it. New they are expensive, at times you can find them used/new on EBay.
I second the copper lugs and bus bars. But if you're going to spend the extra money, look into the Siemens Sentron panels and breakers. If you're familiar with the industry, then you probably heard that Siemens is preferred over Square D. Many union shops that construct panelboards from scratch use Siemens guts.
Thank for the link to transformer. I know most of the basic of the installation of the panel and line. Can you please fill me with the benefit of the isolation transformer.

Thanks

Can you please fill me in with the benefit of the isolation transformer.


With an isolation transformer like the Topaz or the Xentech Extreme:
>Low capacitance coupling between the primary to secondary windings of the transformer.
>Electrostatic shielding between the primary and secondary windings.
In a nutshell, all the crap, EMI noise, RFI, and anything else you can think of on your AC mains will not cross over to the secondary of the transformer. The secondary is isolated from the primary.
