Hi I wonder if anyone can help me with a source for a CVT? I need minimum 2.5kVA, 208V input, 240V output, single phase. I really don't want to (can't!) pay Sola's new prices. This is for my remote s
If the application is for a capacitor input supply, good luck! You will need to restore the sine wave better than a sola transformer does, and have to use a greatly oversized regulator because of th

If you are experiencing consistently low voltage from excessive cable run resistance, you'd be better to consider a Variac or a buck-boost transformer at the station. Either of these options are sign

All: Many thanks all for the replies, and the very good points made. The general consensus seems to be 'Don't use a Sola transformer if it's the last thing in the world!' I should perhaps explain the

Tom's right - the CVT would probably need to be several times more massive than the B+ transformer. This looks like a case for either a regulated B+ supply which can compensate for changes in both ma
The Sola's I've seen function by saturating a magnetic core (making a somewhat flat top waveform), and then trying to "round" the waveform back by eliminating a few harmonics with a capacitor. They
