Hey, looks great. What are the output caps there for exactly? Would they prevent noise flow from one outlet to the other?My unit doesn't have those. would it be advised I put those in mine, and why wouldn't the manufacturer(silver circle) have put them inoriginally?
a] Are any of the pictured capacitors safety rated to be used on an AC power line?b] Are any or all of the capacitors connected between Hot and Neutral?c] Are any or all of the capacitors connected between Hot and Safety Ground?d] Isn't that a lot of total capacitance?
Actually, the way I understand the use of different cap values to work (excuse me if I'm reiterating what I think you were trying to say), as shown in the Adept Response unit is this:The outlets are in parallel. They are not fully isolated from each other. I disagree with that statement. They're isolated inductively and capacitively; all we have left is resistively, so I'd say they're rather well isolated.With that in mind, it doesn't really matter which outlet a piece of digital gear or analog gear is plugged into I again disagree. The noise generated by, in my earlier example, a discplayer, is filtered initially by the outlet cap, and then its own CMC inductor, and then the next outlet's CMC, and then the 2nd outlet's capacitor before it hits the device plugged into the 2nd outlet. appears at the must , unless you know what capacitor value corresponds with the noise frequency/frequencies the piece of gear generates.....which is unlikely in most cases. Any generated noise will travel up and down the line of all the paralleled outlets. Nope; see above.The job of the different cap values is to filter varying frequencies of noise travelling throughout. The more varying cap values, the better the chance of filtering the varying noise frequencies.
Speedskater,Do you see any GFCI protection?
I don't know what Speedskater sees; there's no GFI in the unit.
Look at the 4th photograph in the first post. There is a black box that says Carling Technologies. That is the magnetic circuit breaker. The little gray box just below it looks like it is the GFCI.All standard (non-modified) BPT isolation transformers have a regular GFCI outlet. They are usually the first outlet next to the switch. When you press the test button the whole unit shuts down. But since this particular unit was a custom build, it appears that there was no room for the regular GFCI outlet so the little GFCI box is just hanging there below the Carling magnetic circuit breaker.This is the way it that appears to me, but you should have Chris of BPT verify this if you really want to know how it was built. I know that my own BPT has the regular GFCI outlet, and the same Carling magnetic circuit breaker.
IF IF IF you're discussing the Audience p-con, then...I agree with your last statement.
