"Nutcase Kook"

But nowhere can I find the ,no load, quiescent draw from the mains.

** When the PSU is operating normally, the AC rms current draw is about
400mA.


I have
bypassed / isolated the mains triac board and powering via metered variac
to
the transformer direct at these preliminary stages of powerup. Running at
50
percent mains about 0.1 amp current draw and all monitored DC levels match
between channels and clean signal on output and ps rails half expected
values. Increase to 60 percent and draw climbs abruptly to 0.5 amp .

** In that mode, 140 volts rms is all you should apply - internal DC rails
will then be close to full rating at idle.


So far
quickly returned to 50 percent and nothing obviously overheating. Anyone
happen to know the expected draw?


** So this vile, autistic cretin has not got a ****ing clue what "
magnetising current " is.

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnn..............
