Great Horned Owl said:Buck-boost transformers will increase (or decrease) the voltage by a constant amount. The most common have a 12 volt boost, but others are available. Some models offer the ability to change the constant voltage boost by switching taps.
A typical 12V booster at 30A will be in the vicinity of $100 A 50A version will be around $140.
Sun2Retire said:Very interesting. I did a little poking around but couldn?t immediately identify a 50A version; do you have a link?
Sun2Retire said:John, at some point I?m considering an autoformer as well, and I?ve thought about mounting it in the electric bay but am concerned about ventilation, how did you address this or is it not a concern?
