Dick,
I'd come across that site and it's listed in my favourites.
I know there are lurkers, and some posters to this reflector who indeed
have high power mobile experience, far more than myself.
Rather than 5Kw+...
I still think it's feasible to hit the magic 1500w output off of a 14v
DC rail without messing with voltage doubler circuits or 3-phase
transformers to run AC amplifiers.
Despite what some may think it does not take much to design a very high
current 14v DC rail in a mobile suitable for running the US legal limit
and some. It's all down to correct charging techniques, suitable battery
storage and minimising loses along all the cabling.
I have a 16 x 2SC2879 amp which I've yet to fire up in anger. One day
I'll install it in a mobile. Plus, the only mains power supply I have
(0-20v @ 200A) requires a 3-phase supply which I do not have access to.
I do however have a brand new 350A Electrodyne alternator which one day
will power this baby.
I'd dearly like someone to re-invent the Metron with 16 of these
devices.
Dissipating all that heat and taming the IMD is your problem:-)
" Son of METRON"
