What size power supply would be good to use mobile amp for base?
Thinking of powering one of those blackcat mobile 2 pill or possibly 4 pill.
Thanks |

I run a Texas Star DX500 with a Pyramid PS 52 KX. I think it is 48 amps constant or peak. Will handle whatever I through at it in AM mode but when I go to SSB I must turn the amp down or it trips out the supply. So for less stress on the power supply I should be using something like 70 amps constant. 40 amps should be perfect for your 2 pill maybe a little less if no SSB. I really wanna play so I'm saving up for a supply in the 100 to 200 amp range. Preferably 220 volts AC. Go big now so if one day you find a deal on say like an 8 pill mobile amp you will be ready! |

OHM's Law Boys & Girls:
AMPS= WATTS÷VOLTS I = P ÷ E A = W ÷ V
WATTS= VOLTS x AMPS P = E x I W = V x A
VOLTS= WATTS ÷ AMPS E = P ÷ I V = W ÷ A |
