[Amps] Alpha 87A Power Supply Question

[gudguyham]

Well actually by code the only place where neutral and ground can come together in an electrical service is at the first disconnect point.  Some meter systems have the main breaker incorporated within the meter gear.  If that’s the case the neutral and ground come together there at the meter pan and the ground goes to the grounding electrode from that point.  From there the main lug only panel is serviced by three insulated wires L- L2-N and ground/bonding conductor.  The neutral bar floats above ground ( the can) and the can gets a separate bar for grounds only.

NO, NO, NO!

As K4FMX has correctly told you, the amp needs ONLY Line, Line, and 
Ground. It does NOT need Neutral, and you should make no connection to 
it. It is a HUGE violation of Code to connect Neutral to Ground anywhere 
except the Panel where power enters your home.
