Many devices are 88 to 264V, that will just work.

The standard U.S. AC outlet voltage is 120VAC rms +-10% The peak voltage is Vrms x sqrt 2 = Vrms x 1.414. 120Vrms = 170Vpeak 240Vrms = 340Vpeak Many devices that use AC wall power have a simple bridge rectifier or bridge doubler at the input. The bridge rectifier will peak detect the AC, creating a voltage that is 170DC with a lower valley due to ripple. DC voltage will pass through the bridge. Thus you need an ~170VDC source to equal the rectified 120VAC voltage. 202VDC would be too much and most likely blow something _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
