    Has my mains cable ruined my amp?

    Hi all, I just wanted to clarify the situation with fuses: Russ Andrews advice is correct in that the fuse rating must not exceed the rating of the mains cable. Fitting a 13A fuse to a mains cable that is only rated up to 5A is dangerous - should a fault or overload situation occur then the...

    daveh75:Peter Crosby:Peter Foate: The power cable is 250v 15amp but my equipment is 230v 10amp. The voltage is not the issue but the ampers of the fuse is a concern. I would seriously change the fuse, it is 10 amp's for a reason. Would hate to read that you fried your amp because the fuse...

    Power Cable question.

    Hi Peter Power cables are rated and obviously the one you have is rated at 250V 15A. However if your amplifier is rated at 230V 10A then I would highly recommend that you make sure that the maximum rating of fuse fitted to the power cable is 10A. If you fit anything higher (e.g., a 13A) then...

    Tidy cables

    Hi If a cable is not flexible then this is usually due to the construction and hardness of the outer jacket. Usually it is acceptable to gently warm a cable with a hair dryer to aid installation where additional flexibility is required. However it is always advisable to contact the manufacturer...

    Mains Supply & Surge Protection - Where to start?

    Hi Very basic surge protection will protect surges and transients that occur through the live and neutral lines. If you want more comprehensive surge protection then look for three-channel systems which protect all lines (live-neutral, live-earth, neutral-earth). Surge protection will also have...
