New Central Command.

I got two double gpos installed, each with a 20amp breaker. cost me about $300


I dont do a scheduled show as such, just turn them on close to 7pm. As i put out the radio every night, it is not much of a hassle.
 
OK so sparky has gone over my central command and has given it the tick.

Now wait until easter when he has time to wire the house and then test the board.
 
I get why the earths are connected through a bus bar. But why the Neutrals as well? Shouldn't they have the same insulation as the active's?

The neutral is connected to the earth anyway through a MEN point in your house neutral has no volts (at least if your neutral and earth connections are good) so neutral to earth is 0 volts, neutral to active is supply volts and earth to active it supply volts. No need to cover the neutral.
Note though if you break a neutral you can and most likely will have supply volts there as one end is connected to the positive through a device and the other end is connected to earth through a MEN point. So although a neutral has no volts under normal conditions it can still be very dangerous.

I am not sure where you mean :)
At the top or between the power supplies?
 
Sorry that top line was a quote from somewhere else in here (how do you quote too by the way cant figure it out, I cant see a quote tag anywhere)
Then I went on to explain that there is no need to insulate a neutral.

Or do you have a cover to go over that bar?
