Hi Ron,

I have ZERO volts, AC or DC between my PS-30 chassis and the negative =
13.8 VDC output. If you have 108 volts AC you have a major problem. If =
any of your gear that is powered off the PS-30 has a negative to ground =
path, then you would put 108 volts on all the chassis that are commonly =
grounded in your shack.

  Hello to All,

  I have a PS-30 power supply and was checking it for lightning damage
  and noticed that I have 108VAC from the case to the negative lead on =
the
  DC plug.  Looking at the print the PS is isolated and not grounded to
  the case housing.  Can someone measure for this voltage on their PS-30
  as I really can't believe this is normal.  Please e-mail me direct.


  Thanks,

  Ron, N4GFO
