Rowe-Ami CD100 wallbox "CD-WB" power question

[bjwizzer]

Hello, again....

I have redone a Rowe CD-Wb wallbox and have some questions.

I am going to install the 24 vac transformer inside the wallbox which will allow me to use just a 6 22 awg conductor cable to connect to the CD100 jukebox.

I want to place a 3.0 amp fuse to protect wallbox, should I fuse the 115 vac input side or the 24 vac output side?

I have already test placed this transformer inside the wallbox and there are no issues with interference or heat.

Also, the transformer has a ground wire, should I connect it to the ground conductor of the power cord?

Thanks!

Hi BJ,
The only reason for a 3 amp fuse in a wallbox circuit, is UL decided that it would prevent a fire in the wall box line. They were in the secondary-- If just one wallbox probably a 1/2 amp SB, fuse will do.
On the ground wire-- I would not, but, I would use a GFI, inside the wallbox, or plug the cord into a GFI---
