I few day ago someone had posted how the plugged in the power cord wrong (moved over 1 position) on his K3 and wound up damaging the connector when the shorted the + Supply to the Neg PowerPole.
Note: It's a good Idea to fuse the power cord so that the fuse will blow if this happens. A simple preventative measure to prevent the cord from being plugged in the wrong way would be to simply stick a stick on rubber foot on each side so that the plug will not go in if it's moved over by one position. When I build my distribution boxes I recess the PowerPoles. This physically protects the PowerPole as well as protecting from the possibility of plugging the cable in wrong. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
