Is it practical - Scap UPS tranformers for stepdown
I have a few old computer UPS around 1000va all with shot batteries, and E
core transformers. I know lots of reasons why they may or may not work as stepdown transformers. Has any one tried it? -- They can have my command prompt when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. |

They were designed for a particular applications. Why not replace the
batteries and have some good UPS's? If you purchase the batteries from the general electronics suppliers under their generic part type numbers, they are not as expensive as purchasing them from the computer retailers. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "George Jetson" wrote in message . ..

If the transformer was running at line frequency, then it should work. Why not try it on a Variac? --- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Home Page: http://www.repairfaq.org/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Site Info: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Important: The email address in this message header may no longer work.
