Probably requires a hydro service upgrade too if you're only on 100a. :awe:

Play a 60hz tone and it would make a nice pure sine inverter.

Standard recommended supply is 208V @50A. Of course if you're running 2OHM loads you need nearly 3X that. Definitely not a household thing.

You know you have a good system when you have to unplug your stove to plug in a power amp and when the drum kicks all the lights on the street dim in similar fashion to the boys' auto cars with a trunk full of fosgates. :biggrin:

As for a source, yes connect a PC interface with any function generator of your choice and suddenly you have a plethora of high power wave capabilities. Want to see that a vacuum cleaner designed for 60Hz AC runs like on 400Hz AC? How about square waves? Or some pink noise?

Hell, put on some Bass Mekanic or Techmaster PEB, plug in a table saw and hack some wood. That's pretty funny come to think about it.

The (good) amps are pretty good with strange reactive loads but rest assured your universal motor equipped tools/appliances are not going to like it - one bit.

Very damned funny, actually

you must be new around these parts.

I'll always be considered new here, apparently.

Unless you were referring to the equipment I suppose, and that also.

You should know Ruby is seriously demented when it comes to power. That is why she is the president.

Who needs a VFD when you have a nice stereo with auto CD changer and a bunch of CDs with 80 minutes of a fixed frequency. Want to crank the AC more just change the CD with the remote.

I'm suddenly tempted to experiment with this on small scale. It will probably result in the tiny amp catching on fire when I try to drive a power transformer hooked up to a vacuum cleaner.

You can use a free DAW software (audacity?) and generate any waveform your DAC is capable of.

Use direct drive because your transformer is rather intolerant of wider frequencies. 20Hz into the primary of an automobile ignition coil gives a nice surprise at the secondary if you hold on tight!

Sounds like a fun time. If I had to guess it probably feels similar to telephone ring voltage.

Yes - if you put the wires from your telephone jack in your mouth and call the number. You will ring for sure.

Since when is Audacity a DAW??
