My Round Tuit finally arrived and Im hoping to have my single-point entry
panel finished in a couple of weeks. What Im trying to figure out the
proper way of mounting the Polyphaser IS-RCT (8-terminal rotor control
protector) to the panel. Its a solid box with a ¼-20 one-inch stud coming
out the top and there are no mounting flanges on the box. My original plan
was an 18 x 24 copper or aluminum plate to which all the suppressors would
be mounted, and 2 strapping to the bonded system. The thing of it is, none
of the polyphaser devices are made for panel mountingneither these IS-RCT
boxes or the high-power coax supressors, which are bulkhead-mount only.
Im really stumped here and I think I may just end up selling these and
getting ICE devices instead. Any suggestions?
Also, would I be just as well to get aluminum sheeting for the SPGP, then
using copper strap with a thick layer of NoAlox where the strap meets the
plate? Would I run into problems if I ran two 2-wide by foot-long buses
tied together by 2 strapping or is it better to go with a single large
plate instead?
Thanks in advance.
