[Amps] FW: Acom 2000A - typical output power?

[c miller]

Oops,  Buggered up the reply, I try again...



It is actually 2 circuit not two phase.

They are running a pair of toroidal transformers to get the capacity and feeding each one off a separate 220 circuit so you would not need a monster feeder to the shack.

Also, I imagine there are electrical code limitations for feeder size in homes.  Tankless water heaters use a similar technique to get around needing a 100 amp circuit to run by running two 50 amp circuits and splitting up the heaters between them.



Eight small dc supplies stacked in series to make the high voltage.  A little different, probably saves on having to have really high voltage capable insulation in the transformers.



The OM power website is showing a number of fcc approved amps, however the website appears to be a little scrambled right now as all links return to the home page

Hmmm, 2 phase power, that's kind of rare.
