I have experienced absolutely no hum, either mechanical or electrical,
associated with my KPA500 in either of my two ham shacks.

Klaus,

I know you've already contacted Elecraft Support about this.  Right?

If you have not, you will have a good deal more success contacting them, since
they have probably already seen this before and know what to look for.

Nor have I in my one ham shack.  In fact, the only time I've heard the 
fans come on is when I shut the amp off at the front panel *and* have my 
hearing aids back in.  YMMV, but my K3 and KPA500 appear to be silent 
devices.
