Fixture wire shall comply with the requirements for grounded conductor identification as specified in 402.8.The grounded conductor of a mineral-insulated, metal-sheathed cable (Type MI) shall be identified at the time of installation by distinctive marking at its terminations.A single-conductor, sunlight-resistant, outdoor-rated cable used as a solidly grounded conductor in photovoltaic power systems, as permitted by 690.41, shall be identified at the time of installation by markings at terminations in accordance with 200.6(A)(1) through (A)(4).Insulated conductors that have their outer covering finished to show a white or gray color but have colored tracer threads in the braid identifying the source of manufacture are acceptable means of identification.

The insulated conductor shall have three continuous white or gray stripes along the conductor's entire length on other than green insulation.The insulated conductor shall have a continuous gray outer finish.The insulated conductor shall have a continuous white outer finish.Hopefully one of the experienced builders here with proof what I've written and correct me if I am wrong.īest Wishes and Good Luck with the build.An insulated grounded conductor of 6 AWG or smaller shall be identified by one of the following means: Getting the wiring correct, with respect to the layout and schematic is essential. Probably both of the 120v primary wires on the PT are black.

NO other ground wires of any type should be connected there! That connection should be a short stout wire gauge securely fastened (bolt, very tight) to the chassis near the power socket. On the power socket, the "E" (green wire on the layout) is Earth Ground. Notice where the other side of the MOV (mentioned above) connects to the front panel power switch? That's where the other 120v primary wire of the PT goes. That gets connected from the power socket to the power switch at the point labeled C2 on the layout (again, use color coded wire to keep things organized). that's the switch lug (left side of switch) the hot side of the PT 120v primary goes to.īack to the layout, the "N" on the power socket is the neutral line (0 volts). See the MOV (metal oxide varistor) on the layout. From the power socket, the live wire goes to the fuse (I suggest using color coded wire here to help keep things properly identified), and then to the front panel power switch (labeled C1 on layout).įrom the power switch the live connection goes to the power transformer primary (120 volt side of HTS-5199 diagram). On your layout, the hot wire from the wall power is labeled L (in red on the layout).
