"Kenster said tot he system ground, but I am not sure where that is. I have 4 dedicated runs from the AC box."I am refering to your dwellings electrical system Earth GND. That would be the round connection on the outlet beneath the 2 vertical slots.
U could also attach the basket GND to any component chassis that utilizes a 3 prong power cord.
Cheers,
I had planned to ground it on the amp chassis, but wasn't that sure.
Just because a component, such as an amp, uses a 3-prong power cord does not automatically mean the chassis is connected to ground. For instance, I have a B&K power amp, and although it uses a 3-prong detachable cord, the Earth grond wire is not connected to anything. This may be a rare exception, but it's never a bad idea to understand how your stuff is wired.
Thanks. My old carver was that way.My Pass' manual make a big deal about lifitng the ground, but I'll check just to make sure.
U R correct and a quick check with a DMM will be all that is needed although it is rare that the chassis is not connected when a 3 prong plug is utilized.
