PE Bash 500 conversion for 230V 50Hz

[rhapsodee]

Hi,

I'm wondering if it is possible to convert the PE bash 500 input voltage to take 230V 50Hz? I don't think there is a simple input voltage selector switch, but perhaps this can be done with some (relatively) straightforward component swaps on the input circuitry?

I'm not a electrical engineer, and not too familiar with SMPSs, so maybe my question is way off base and it could not be easily modified..

Thanks in advance for the help!

Cheers!

Normally a different impedance primary winding is used in the SMPS and a 230v transformer plus smoothing caps will be required. Use an auto transformer to drop the power to 110v. They are getting quite inexpensive.

I see, the auto transformer gets expensive for the VA rating of the amp...
Thanks!
