Powering arcade monitor
« on: November 05, 2020, 02:18:33 pm »
For the standard wiring of an arcade cabinet it seems to be, in simple terms:



In my cabinet I'm looking to use a PC, and I want to use a smart strip device that will control power to all other devices in the cabinet based upon the PC being turned on.  This means that the monitor needs to be powered from the smart strip, not directly from the incoming power feed.  In other words, the isolation transformer will be "plugged in" to the smart strip.  Plus I could probably avoid using inline fuses because the power input to the cabinet will be fused, as will the individual plugs in the smart strip.



In my head this seems fine, but I thought I'd check here in case anyone was aware of any problems that this introduces!  Thanks.
