AQVox AQ-SWITCH-8

[Celts88]

I was thinking of getting a normal 3 pin UK plug with one wire connected to earth (ground), and connecting this to the Aqvox. (This should work fine with Australian spec plugs also)  The alternative is to connect to the little earthing post at the back of the Devialet.  Personally, I find the Devialet's earthing post a little fiddly and difficult to get right, this is based on use for my turntable ground.

Confused

Sorry if I come across like your username, so if I take a simple extension lead, remove the Neutral and Live cables from the plug that goes into my expansion filter board, and then take the earth cable and attach this to the AQVOX I'm good to go.

Or I can take a single cable connected to the AQVOX and attach this to the Earthing point on my Expert Pro then this will do the same (how is the Expert earthed).

Thanks for your help.

Best not to be confused when wiring mains plugs!    To clarify, what I am planning to do is get a mains plug of the type that you can wire yourself, and connect a single wire to the earth pin, and connect this to the Aqvox earthing post.  Essentially this is the same as you are proposing with an extension lead.  The ground post on the Devialet is connected to the case & earth, with the earth connection via the earth cable in the Devialet's mains power lead, to the earth pin in the plug, to your domestic mains earth.  So connecting this way is basically the same as a separate lead to single wire to the earth pin in a plug.  The Devialet's case is connected to earth, the idea being that if any of the high powered electrical stuff in the case goes wrong and connects with the case (which could kill you), it trips the earthing circuit breaker and so disconnects the power.

Thanks Confused

Is there a reason you're going to earth the Aqvox to a power board, rather than to the Earthing point on the Devialet?
