I have equipment with two sizes of military connectors for the power line cordMS3102A-14S-7PMS3102A-16S-5PPin B on both is ground on 99% of the gear.
(Some early TMC gear has 16S-5P pin C as ground!)
So which is the hot (black) and neutral (white) line connection?All the Navy gear I have has both sides switched and both sides fused so there is no difference.
Do you have any gear with only one side fused? I assume that will be in the hot lead. I have one piece of NSA gear with only one fuse which is in the Pin A line (14S-7P connector).
Opinions backed by experience or documents are welcome!
I want to make sure all my power cords are wired up the same way and interchangeable so I don't make a sparky mistake some time (I have already modified those early TMC pieces).
