Hi all,
I would like to use the original Cube PSU in a future mod.I've been doing some online research and found the following:
PSU pin-out
Thanks to TomD for the PSU specs:
The outer shell is ground - thru to the 3rd pin of the AC power cord
The two pins that are closer together are +28V, Cube flat inner part and the other two pins are the 28V return. (not Ground) Cube, shell notch. The sides also have notches on the Cube receptacle. The 2 28V lines are common circuits as are the 28V returns.
/--U--
| * * | <--- 28V return
| ** | <___ 28V
-----/ <--- GND shield

They refer to return line and to ground.Can somebody be so kind to explain the difference between them?
cheers
