So, are you saying that the filter can has blade terminals for the live
and neutral inputs/outputs?
If so, I've been known to use a couple of strips of metal,
well-insulated, of course, to bypass such things. Another idea (if your
junk box is anything like mine) is to use a double-pole switch with spade
temrals, set to the 'on' postion, as a jumper. Just make sure it can't
short to anything else.
My concern is that you don't want to bypass the internal circuit breaker,
just in case there's a fault that should trip it.
If I recall the OP correcltly, the only wire lead
from the filter was
a ground--the power-carrying leads terminated in spade lugs. A power
cord with a couple of spade-lug quick-connects should do the job just
fine.
Correct. Must remember to take the machine into the workshop tomorrow!
Oh, and Tony, you were the one who suggested the IEC lead in your first
message :oD
Oh, I probalby did, but remember I've not seen inside this PSU for a long
time...
