Evening all!
My MOSFET amp (when built) needs 45-55 volt supply. I have a 40V x 500VA transformer (recommended by the amp designer) which in theory will provide 40*1.41=56.4v at the rails.
However I failed to check my home's mains supply which is actually 240V. The trafo is rated at 230V and is giving 46 volts at the secondaries so I'm expecting around 64v at the rails which is almost 10v over the recommended supply.
So my questions are:
1) Is 10 extra volts going to be an issue?
and if it is...
2) what is the simplest and most cost effective way to reduce the voltage to the required level, apart from replacing the trafo with a lower rated model?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance..!
