    YOU may have to rewire to get 2 kw


    Think those are 20A GFCI Sockets.

    The max output current is ~16.6A giving ~2000VA at 120VAC

    But, yes, I have to look at the extension cord I'm using to run this to the AC distribution centre. Pretty sure it's 12 awg and it's only 10-15'.

    Don't think I'll ever go there, but the concern would be ... ???

    I would be interested in seeing capacitor brand name, and power FET spec number and an image of the heat sink por favor. :)


    Aren't those capacitors LG branded?
    EDIT: Actually they are TEAPO capacitors or something like that

    Here's another picture. Are those the Power FETs bolted to an Al bar down at the bottom mid-right? There's a bunch more items at the top that may be heat sinked similarly. Can't see any specs cause of the fasteners.
    EDIT: Yes, there's 12 on the top of the picture clamped to the case, as well as the 4 big ones at the bottom also bolted to the ribbed Al case.

    Not a hard-wire version?


    None that I know of. But as you can see from the picture, it would be pretty easy to do it yourself. The 120VAC sockets are GFCI.

    And I'm curious to see how its "sleep" (200ma) mode works with our usage patterns.
  • I like the no load draw and the tight load sense ratings.
    What happens above 10,000 feet elevation?
  • Me likes the 105c cap rating. Me likes even better a narrow carbon fiber bridge across the tops of the caps and lose the adhesive which is an insulator. Then deflect heat from the choke via a vertical plate of carbon fiber.

    I got carried away and ordered 400 square inches of aluminized one-side .5 mm carbon fiber sheets. The chokes in my stuff seem to run around 45 to 55c at 25c ambient. I would be interested in seeing capacitor brand name, and power FET spec number and an image of the heat sink por favor. :)
