    Question Antek Power Supply Wiring?

    Hoping for a little help with how to wire my Antek 70v 1500W power supply to my PMDX-134. There are two sets of capacitors. Antek's website states to wire these in parallel to allow full current (each capacitor set 11A?). I'm slightly confused because each set of capacitors has screw terminals labeled "++C--". I'm not sure what the C is and I'm not sure why there are two terminals for the live and neutral wires. I know this should be simple, but I don't want to mess this up. Here is how I believe it should be wired. Could anyone confirm this:

    Groc426,

    If you are connecting to J5 on the PMDX-134 your diagram is correct.

    Hi
    the power supply has 2 live and 2 neutral connections because the transformer has two 115v primary windings that can be wired in parallel for a 115V supply
    or in series for connection to a 230V supply

    the common "C" terminals are not conected in your version of power supply
