DOEPKE Residual Current Circuit Breaker AUDIO GRADE

[Blue58]

Yep, backing you up on this, advice if I'm to run six Gigawatt MCBs is to daisy chain three each to both terminals.

1 terminal, Live!, but it’s constructed with a bolt down the centre creating two apertures. Daisy chain 2 sets of 3 (serial) to each side of the bolt. This also gives equal pressure on your solid core cable preferable to having one single core that potentially could come loose.

Just for clarity should anyone be thinking it’s the two terminals, live and neutral, of the Doepke.

There appears to be one alternative to this Doepke audio grade switch.
A company called www.gapower.co.uk offers modded units, in gold, platinum and rhodium platings, cryo treated, 20-25% the price of the black Doepke.
Any thoughts out there as to comparisons between the two.

The modded Doepkes on gapower.co.uk look nice.
Thanks for the info.

However they seem to be MCB but not the Doepke black colour "audiophile application" RCCBs(residual current circuit breaker).

Doepke - For Audiophile Applications

RCCB of the DFS Audio series are optimised for protecting electric circuits that are connected to high-quality audio systems, such as record players, network streamers, amplifiers or sound systems for theatres and cinemas. They have a low-impedance design to enable an unrestricted current flow...

RCCB is more complicated internally and most hifi modders dare not opening them up and mod their internal structures.
After all, safety is the first priority.

Ah, I thought this GA unit was an RCD, not MCB.
