RE: please teach me...

One of the issues with Mains power distribution in the US is that the quality and "cleanliness" has gone down-
to wit:
power spikes are common, as well as sagging mains voltage
DC and HF noise is on the lines from other cables carried on the same poles and a general lessening of shielding-

this all leads to the desire/needs for conditioning-

Conditioning can be passive - some caps to clear out the DC and limit the HF ac noise

or active-
that regenerate the ac at 60Hz and keep the voltage at 120 - or 115.....

The moderators feel that allowing this thread to continue, even though it may hold useful information, will wind up creating more trouble than it solves, and thereby detract from the purpose of this forum.

This is not the appropriate venue for discussion of this matter, and we ask that those with an interest in the subject, take it elsewhere (e.g. private e-mail).

No further follow-ups will be considered.

Thank you for your support of the Asylum.
