This is NOT a forum for college problem solutions. How would you have a 20 KVA transformer and an Atlas Sound AF140... these are different animals... Autotransformer is a more efficient connection when it is possible... the transformer will step the 220 up to 2200+220 volts ignoring the copper loss voltage. For proper designed transformers the primary and secondary copper losses should be close to equal... but in autotransformer connection the efficiency is improved as the added voltage of the supply going to the high voltage winding power does NOT suffer and add to the current required in the primary of this connection. The purpose of this problem is for you to discover that the efficiency of autoformer connection is higher than of a simple step up connection. Now with this carefully work the problem... The ratio I have all but given you... It is unclear what is considered full load here so I would base it on regular connection at 20 KVA at 2200 volts to calculate what the currents would be primary and secondary.in normal connection... calculate resistance of primary and secondary ASSUMING equal losses primary and secondary. What isn't clear is if the loss figures are for the autoformer connection OR just the specs for normal connection. The power factor kink adds to the misery. Approach this problem by making an equivalent circuit of the transformer showing the primary and secondary resistances... again the question is are the loss figures the specs of the transformer or the actual running values for the system....

Vocalist Live 4

U.S and Canada: 20 VAC, 60 Hz Adapter: PS093B-20
Japan: 00 VAC, 50/60 Hz Adapter: PS093B-00
Europe: 230 VAC, 50 Hz Adapter: PS093B-230
UK: 240 VAC, 50 Hz Adapter: PS093B-240

Power adapter requirement straight from the user manual. I am sure you are aware that a simple plug adapter in a tourist shop does nothing to convert 120v US to 240v AUS. Note you unit does not like temperatures above 40C. And you can get that in Australia.

Bear in mind the timezone difference if you try Digitech support in the US.

Hello, I have a Mackie 1604 VLZ Pro from 1995. It's 110 volts and I want to change it to 220 volts. Do I need to buy a new transformer? I don't want to us an external step-down...

The LEAST expensive thing to do is to buy an external stepdown transformer.
Here is a link:

http://www.world-import.com/transformers.htm

The 100 Watt would be adequate... If you think you might need more you could have a reserve for other equipment... At around $8 USD I don't think you can beat that. The labor cost to change the internal transformer would cost many times what the external transformer costs, not to mention the cost on a new internal transformer.

I bought korg kp3 from US now using it in india. I was using step down but after some time it stopped working .. with some burning smell... is it possible it get rectified..

You would need to use a TRANSFORMER type stepdown. If you have used one of the cheap ones intended for hair drier type appliances you have damaged your unit. You will have to send it to a repoair facility in that case. Here is example of CORRECT type:

One speaker hums very loud with nothing plugged into it i own the mr-8

If this monitor is humming without nothing connected to it, maybe the electrolytic capacitors from its power supply are bad - they are responsible for filtering the fluctuation at the output of the internal voltage rectifiers that transform the AC input voltage into a DC voltage to feed its internal amplifier.

When they fail, the supply voltage for its internal amplifier that should be flat, continuous, now presents a pulsating profile, according to the mains frequency (generally 60 or 50 Hz, depending on the country you're in). So, the output of the amplifier will be varying at the same rate, producing the humming.

Another possibility is that one internal cable connection that should be shielded is now disconnected or loose and is picking the hum from the internal power supply.

Anyway, maybe you should take it to a service center and have it checked.

Hope this info may help you!

Hi friends! The problem is that this amp must work in Spain (230V, 50 Hz). What is the correct AC adapter available for this amp? Is there any internal modification to be done for correct...

You need to use a transformer type voltage convertor. DO NOT use ones intended for appliances such as hair driers. Transformer types are generally heavy. Get one capable of at least 50 Watts or KVA rating... about 3 times the nameplate rating of the amp.

Sir, while ago i sent a message to you regarding my 1202-vlz3 mixer (mackie) i to know how much the secondary voltage supply ?? thanks and god bless

The schematics don't show this, however reverse engineering this there are two windings... one is for the phantom power of 48 VDC... this winding needs to provide about 55 to 60 volts DC to the 48 volt regulator. EXPECT around 40 to 50 volts AC on this winding to the full wave bridge of D1,2,3,8.

The +/- 16 volt power regulated by LM317 and LM337 regulators will likely require about 20 volts DC into the regulators. It will be less than 25 volts because there is a 25 volt cap filtering.

Given a 20 volt DC from the diodes D5,6 and diodes D4,7 the transformer will be around 15 VAC either side of the centertap.

A minimum would be 12.5 VAC and say 18 VAC either side of center.

You should see near pure DC across C1 and C2 with only a little ripple of 2 volts MAX. The ripple should be 120 Hz. An oscilloscope is your friend in this area !!!

Output and power transformers specs

What??? There is NO output transformer for the Mg50DFX. The outputs are direct driven from hybrid stick TDA type solid state amp chips.

The power transformet is probably about 100 watt size and supplies two voltages... one that feeds a +/- 15 volt three terminal regulators... Probably 22 volts +/- to the regualtors and the other supply will be unregulated to the power amp chips.
