5.1.1. Substation Back Panel
5.2. AC service tips
Make sure that you use the same circuit from the AC panel for the computer and
the Overdrive SE.
Different circuits will potentially originate from different phases and
may cause ground reference voltage differences with resulting high-currents in the
ground. This can potentially damage other components in your system.
Power conditioners can have high-impedance in the ground connection to the AC
service, so if you use a conditioner, it is best to plug both the computer and Overdrive
SE into the same conditioner. Conditioners with filters generally limit the transient
current-flow, so we advise against using them in general.
