Bundling AC wires together
« on: July 18, 2023, 11:01:25 pm »
Have a question regarding bundling AC wires together.  In my current build I'll have the wires going from the switch to the PT as well as the heater wires bundled together. I have seen alot of builds and they seem to seperate the two. Heater wires run off directly to the back of the chassis while the AC wires running from the inlet to the power switch to the PT are routed close to the side of the chassis. Is this done on purpose? Would bundling them together induce some kind of interference or hum? I would say no because they are both AC. But I could be wrong.

No problem.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
