Chassis ground question
8/5/2005 1:04:05 PMDave
I am restoring a Westinghouse 103A which has a Nuetral and hot B supply. Can I put a 3 prong "safety" type plug connected to the chassis on this radio (as the neutral is off of the wall/AC Nuetral by a capacitor)?

Thanks,

Dave

On a AC power transformer supply this is generally not a problem. The Chassis is then always at neutral reference to the AC from wall. Usually safer then the original system utilized.
