In Reply to: Question about Using Low DCR Power Xfrmrs in amp circuits posted by Ian L. on October 12, 2002 at 16:23:57:
Hey-Hey!!!,
Just for sake of discussion, let's take a big power trans, nice low secondary DCR, say 4 ohms across 440 vac, and a primary with DCR of less than an ohm. For a choke input filter and a Class A biased power section running at least 200 mA and voltage about where I want it, is there any down side to the excess current available? I tried the beast with a resistive load and it put out an amp with less than 10% voltage drop. So far the only drawback I see is size, it weighs about 10 kilos, just like the output trans...
regards,
Douglas
