I did some searching through the list but haven't managed to hit the nail right on the head yet... For wiring a Ten-Tec Centurion amp to 220V, are there any recommended plugs and outlets to use? I am

Suggest trying the 6-20p plug/receptacle. Some of the dryer plugs/receptacles aren't rated for many plugs/unplugs. The 6-20p may also be less expensive, and you can find appliance "extension cords" f

Jason, The "old" standard was only three wires for dryers (two Hots and a Neutral), but I'm pretty sure that new homes have 4 wire dryer outlets now. Consider the Neutral to be ground, since they are

Use a NEMA 6-20R and corresponding plug. For 20 amps, you need #12 conductors or larger. I use 3 #10 conductors with a 20 amp circuit breaker on my Centurion. The three conductors to the Centurion an

Dear Jason, On your amplifier there will more than likely be an attachment to the metal box where a grounding conductor can terminate. The metal frame of your amplifier should have an independent gro

If the Centurion has a 4 wire power cord: I will tie the chassis ground to the ground in the feed, the amp's bond to the feed's neutral and the 110V single phase lines to the amp's black/red. The ide

I agree with Bill. Most new installations require separate neutral and ground at the breaker box and for years, sub services had separate neutral and ground as well. Never consider neutral to be the

Jason, I ran into this problem with the Henry 2K-D that was donated to our local club station. Even when operated from a 240VAC circuit, the Henry still requires 120VAC from the mains to run the blow

The Centurion is a 3 wire connection; 2 hot and the third is connected directly to the chassis and must be ground, not neutral. The Centurion does not use phase to ground to develop 120 v for the fan
