PD 9180 needs 20 amp cord?
Hey all, With all this converter talk recently, I noticed that the prog. dyn. PD9180/9280 converter comes with a 20 amp cord and plug. Can't tell if the cord wire is 12awg but probably. Fine. So...

I believe I have both of MR Wizards WFCO 68100 Converters here at the shop
One had a fried input side inductor L1 and has become a parts donor the other was OK with the exception of several very high ESR capacitors keeping it from going into boost mode both manually or automatically and now works just fine
Yes they do have input side power factor correction post bridge rectifier and mains capacitors nothing special and do indeed have a 20amp plug
IMO they are not any better or any worse than all the others
All of them can be modified to have variable output voltages from as low as 12.0 to as high as 16.0VDC or more
