Power Conditioners... PartII
Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 5:39 pm
So Jim Wilson and I had to perform an exploratory on the audio power conditioner at the Imperial Theatre. I thought I'd post some pics. oddioguy will remember Jim coming in looking for some fuses...
Just so you know, you couldn't fill a thimble with what I know about power. We were just doing what we were told by PDI.
Imperial's main entrance.
And the plate off that big boy for those who know what they're talking about.
Jim next to the power conditioner.
And it's plate.
A shot of one of the cards with the blown fuses... Still don't know what's wrong. The fuses were a symptom, not the problem.
"What's that say? If you can read this.... back up slowly..."
The auxilliary power for those where the conditioner is not enough... And it's plate...
Questions?... Comments?...
The last I heard, Jim was still waiting to hear back from PDI about what to do next. Basically one output leg is running hot, around 131 when we last looked, meaning the conditioner had put itself in bypass for some reason. We found blown fuses, but as I said, they were a symptom, not the cause.
My understanding is that these are very specialized rigs, and not just anyone can work on them, but that could just be one of those... "authorized techs only" kind of deals.
