Audiobahn A1300HCT

Amplifier is drawing excessive current at idle. 3amps.
I rebuilt a power supply, the original gate resistor were 20R I changed them all to 47R and irf3205.

No shorted outputs, no shorted power supply mosfets.

Runs a tl494c.

That's an odd problem. It seems like the transformers are, in some way, defective. That said, 150F for a transformer isn't really significant. The components can survive much higher temperatures.

I'd drive it up to fairly high power (in the heatsink) to see if the amp will produce clipping into a load without dragging the rail voltage down significantly and/or causing much more heating.
