| Reviews Summary for IOTA DLS-55 55 amp continios Duty Switchmode Power Supply |
|
Reviews: 2
|
Average rating: 5.0/5
|
MSRP: $$219.95
|
Description: Using state-of-the-art, switch-mode technology, IOTA Power Converter/Battery Chargers are engineered with the user and variable environmental conditions in mind. Extra care has been given to insure many years of service-free operation, even when subjected to extremely harsh conditions. Batteries are charged quickly and efficiently without over-charging and pumps, motors, and fans operate perfectly for prolonged life.
Exceptionally clean DC output insures pumps, motors, fans, and lights work perfectly. This means longer life for any connected load; virtually no AC ripple to cause static or premature failure of radio or television equipment.
Quickly and efficiently charges batteries
from the full rated output of the IOTA battery charger. The battery charger then maintains the batteries, only putting into the battery what is required by load or self-discharge, cutting back to milliamps as the battery requires.
Protection against low and transient AC line voltage
as well as spikes coming from the AC power source or from improperly adjusted generators, a major cause of converter/power supply failure

Fantastic P/S

Time owned: more than 12 months

Oh yeah, I have one of these, don't I??
It's easy to forget when you've got one of these. They're designed for the RV market, very good regulation, absolutely NO external noise, and I don't notice any birdies, either.
These switchers are great, as they only supply the needed current, and "idle" along at a few hundred milliamps when nothing is pulling power from them. Mine is mounted on the back of the kick panel on my station desk, with the FT-990 powered direct, and an MFJ power strip ('1116, I think) for the rest of the shack accessories. Out of sight, out of mind. I also made sure to ground the P/S well, as is the entire station.
My two cents, but I think these are some well-made pieces of equipment.

A Great power supply

I own three of the 55 amp power supplies, and I would recommend it to everyone. After owning numerious linear big hunking supplies, I tried this switcher and am very happy. I use them to power my FT-7000, FT-897 and my TE Systems 1452G and have had no problems. The continious duty rating is great and the voltage regulation is superb. I use one with a battery and it works well with it, even when the battery is deep discharged, which is a problem for linears supplies not designed to work with depleted batteries. Buy one for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
