lazduc Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 HI, Do you know where I can get a 115v 400hz power supply? errr with a reasonable price. :smilewink: Thanks, Lazduc
Gadroc Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Nope, but I'm looking :) Aside from get Mike Powell's book and build his design (mind you'll probably have to fab a PCB which means this is still not "cheap".) I've seen a few go for $250-$350 on ebay.
lazduc Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 Gadroc I have been trying to get one of these power supplies for 20 years...I mean it. I do have two supplies that will generate the 400hz at 115v but they both need to be repaired. I was given them by a tech at an airport repair facility. They are 28vdc input. Naturally the bad component is the transformers which I cannot find....they are discontinued. If you ever do run into a couple of these..er one for yourself and one for me, please email me. You are a pilot....perhaps you can do the same thing....go to a electronics aircraft repair facility and see if they will give you a couple that may need repairing. Possibly the newer units can be repaired and parts are still available. Surplus center in Nebraska had some and I just missed them. That was about 10 years ago. I put in a request about 10 years ago with Nuts and Volts...asking if anyone knew a design for this that was not really expensive....no takers...I think the big problem is the transformer. There is always the aircraft bone yard in Arizona..... Lazduc :D
