Need power supply suggestions

Sign in to disble this ad
I can't seem to recall any power supplies with isolated outputs that work with different mains voltages in different countries.

I just find it odd all the Shredfreak and Diago ones work on any mains voltage but the Voodoo Lab one doesn't

So any suggestions?

I think only switchmode power supplies are flexible with input voltage. The Voodoo Lab one uses a different technology which is quieter, but you lose that flexibility. Doesn't really answer your question though, all I can suggest is look at the specs for the BBE Supa Charger or Berkely Flatliner.

Flat Liner is too big and too many options I won't use, didn't know the BBE was isolated.

Will check now

The BBE will work as long as they are actually Isolated outputs.

Looks like it will fit under a PT Jr as well.

Hmmmmm

If you guys ever play in upstate NY, you're welcome to crash at my house. I do have smelly dogs, though...

Good luck with the power supply and let us know what you discover.

Roskilde Festival next year!

On topic - you may have to get one custom made... I've never seen a power supply with those specifications. It's probably going to be big and heavy.

why not use a 220/240V one and use a power strip adapter at the end? plugging a 220V in a lower voltage wall wart won't hurt it (but not the opposite)

"Includes eight isolated, regulated and filtered outputs, a toroid transformer for a zero hum performance and a selectable mains input voltage (110-220) that enables the Supa-Charger to be used worldwide."

This is what I read on one online store's website. So it looks like it could work for you.

Here is a link to BBE's website which has the same information.

True enough, but if it's not designed to cope with the lower input voltage then it will be as useful as a brick.

seems like the gigrig generator would fine as well, although they don't specify the dimensions on the website
