Title: 60-in-1 power wiring
Post by: pleiner on April 08, 2013, 03:21:44 AM
So building my first arcade; got the 60-in-1 bundle.  I'm putting a surge protector power strip inside my cab to run by LCD computer monitor and the marque light.

Can I just hotwire a three-prog outlet into the two AC terminals and one Ground terminal on the power supply and plug it into the power strip?  Or, do I have to run wires from the AC terminals through a fuse then to the power strip?  Or is there another way to wire this up properly?

Just want to make sure I don't blow-up my PCB the first time I plug it in.

Thanks.

Tried and true way of doing wiring in the bottom of a cabinet.
