My PDP 8/e has its power cable cut off. The wires are
color coded White,
Black, Green. This is for a Dec H724 power supply.
Does anyone have any schematics or doc that would tell me how to connect
those 3 wires to a power plug? Its about time I powered this thing up
to see if the capacitors are working. I dont have an electronics
test bench, so i'll just have to pull the boards out and turn it on,
and hope for the best.
In fact, I borrowed a fluke multimeter, and there is only about 0.2 Ohm
resistance between the green wire and the case, so that must be the
case ground wire. Do the other two matter much on a 3 prong connector?
resistance between teh green wire and the case, so that must be the
Polarized AC was always confusing to me...
