Electrical Service Recommendations
Technalogix recommends that a qualified, licensed local electrician be consulted for the required
electrical service. We suggest local electricians because:
• The personnel knows the local codes
• The personnel can be on site readily
• You are apt to get better overall support if you give what business you can to local suppliers
Technalogix recommends that proper AC line conditioning and surge suppression be provided on
the primary AC input to the power amplifier. All electrical service should be installed with your
national electrical code in your area, any applicable provincial or state codes, and good engineering
practice. Special consideration should be given to lightning protection of all systems in view of the
vulnerability of most transmitter or translator sites to lightning. Lightning arrestors are recommended
in the service entrance. Straight and short grounds are recommended. The electrical serviced must
be well grounded. Do not connect the unit to an open delta primary power supply, as voltage
fluctuations could harm the unit. Branch your circuits. Do not allow your lights, your workbench
plugs, and your transmitting or translating equipment to operate on one circuit breaker. Each
transmitter or translator should have its own circuit breaker, so a failure in one does not shut off the
whole installation.
