Wanted: 500va 25voltsX2

[KenP]

Does anyone have a toroidal transformer like this to sell? Just thought I'd ask before ordering from Plitron.

Hi Ken,

I have a 500VA ILP (now Plitron) with dual 110V inputs and 4 X 24V outputs that I bought from Old Colony 20 years ago for the Pass A40. I'm looking to get rid of it. If your interested, let me know and we can work out the details.

Would that work with a p3a? They specify 25-0-25 minimum.

KenP,

I am using Avel 500va for p3a but its way overkill for only 2 channels. You can get a 330va 25-0-25 for $46 and last time it was in stock.

P.S. 24-0-24 would work just fine too.

Hi Ken,

I went and looked at p3a at Rod Elliot's site. I couldn't find where he suggests a lower limit for the rail voltage except on the initial power-up where he says

When power is applied, check that the DC voltage at the output is less than 1V, and measure each supply rail. They may be slightly different, but both should be no less than about 20V.

He also limits the upper rail voltage to 35VDC when driving a 4ohm load. With this transformer you'll have about +/-32VDC rails, which should work fine.

Where in Canada are you?

Just south of Montreal. How much did you want for it.

 

[roddyama]

Ken,

I'll take $30USD plus shipping. I'll post a pic in a few minutes. BTW, it has never been used.

What are the dimensions? How can I pay you, do you take paypal?

Ken,

Sending you an email.

Hi Ken,

I sent an email. Did you get it? Or did you get cold feet?

No, I just took a break from the computer for awhile. Eyes are starting to get a bit buggy. I'm signing off now 10:47pm, I'll check this thread tomorrow morning.
