Hi Rick:
?My LA-1K has the Auto-Sensing power supply and does NOT have the 120/240VAC switch to select.? The label on my LA-1K rear panel (below the AC input receptacle) states "20AMPS at 120VAC. 10AMPS at 240VAC".? If you have a 15A / 120VAC circuit, then your 120VAC circuit is BELOW the recommended current draw for the LA-1K.? Even worse if there are other power consumers on the same circuit.??
I suggest driving the LA-1K at a lower level while using your 120VAC circuit. Or... In the alternative, put a clamp-meter on the power cord and measure what current the LA-1K ACTUALLY draws at various exciter levels. It'll work fine at a lower output level.? Pesky Ohm's Law at work.
