Re: NEW LA-1K OWNER
开云体育The 33 amp statement applies only to the maximum current rating when using the amp on 120 VAC.? That's not its nominal draw, that is the maximum that the amp can tolerate.? Above 33 amps and the amplifier shuts down.? Taken from page 8 of the online manual in the LA-1K section:? As I said earlier, the rule of thump for long-term viability of solid state amps is:? if the supply voltage is 120 VAC, one should limit RF output to 500 watts; if the supply voltage is 240 VAC, one can run a 1000-watt rated amp at 1000 watts RF output. End of my end of the discussion. 73, Kent K9ZTV On 12/4/2023 5:11 PM, VE3PP wrote:
I was assured by the Palstar Tech rep that the amp does not draw anywhere close to 33 amps on 120 V. The sticker on the back of the amp under the power cord states 20 amps and I was told it would not draw that either. |
