This is just to let anyone thinking of connecting the secondary side outputs of two or more balanced power transformers to get the "functional equivalent" of a higher kVA transformer: Jon's warning not to do it, passed on by Thomas, has been confirmed by Equi=Tech's support staff. I reported in an earlier post that someone from Avel-Lindberg had told me in an email it could be done with no problem, but I have concluded that I must have failed to properly communicate to the Avel-Lindberg staff exactly what I had in mind.

I'm bumping this thread up since Equi=Tech once again has these transformers back in stock.....
These trannys are used in Equi=Tech's products costing $3000+

Kevin Haskins is also closing out some overstocked transformers that will do one of these for $50 plus shipping. They are the units he uses in some of his Exodus Hypex-based class D amps. Don't remember if one is allowed to post his website here . . .

The 630VA model won't do, as the secondaries are the wrong voltage. If you're using one of those, you'd want the 822VA model.Comment

Just to be clear, the ones Kevin is selling are smaller and only adequate for frontend gear, not amps. Right?Comment

Correct...

Sorry to bring such an older thread back alive but Equitech still have some "blems" for sale so I was able to just order one of the 2kVA transformers from them.
I am thinking of making only using two outputs on it. One for a dedicated amp and another for my Belkin Power Console. The largest draw through the BPC will be my Crown XTi1000. The Equitech will then go on a dedicated 20 amp line which I believe should be enough for my uses.

Well had the BPT installed down in the basement and I cannot believe how much better both the audio and video are with this device.
I thought it was such an improvement I had order one more this morning.
Equitech stated they still have some more in stock so if anyone wants to grab one before they are all out...
