mmiles Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I have posted here before about this matter. Tommorrow morning is the last meeting with the electrician. So far I have a dedicated outlet/isolated ground for the projector and screen and one for the "electronics" (electronis = amp, pre/pro., dvd player, cable box, stb, RPTV and sub. It seems to reason I need one for the sub and amp as well since both devices are fused at 15 amps each. However I don't want to create any ground loops (all circuits are grounded in the same panel) either. So the question is do I have enough AC for the job?

easylistener Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I would make sure you have on at least 15 amp just for a amp. All the other stuff you should not have problems with on one circuit. A lot of the newer high power surround amps need a dedecated 15 amp. If you have a real big sub then you may need one just for that. Remember it is always better to have to much than too little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksdad Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 you worry too much, you only need a solid ground, and a few good circuits, the importsnt thing is to keep motor containing products out of your loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 mmiles: I simply ran a 20-Amp home-run circuit from my equipment rack back to the breaker panel and it runs my entire system; projector, sub and all. No issues yet. (12 gauge wire) 2,400 Watts (@120 Volts) is a lot of power! Be sure to use a 20-Amp-rated outlet as well! -Picky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
