there are appaently 2 types, one is made to run off of 12 volts maybe 24
VDC and the other runs off of 120VAC.
I think the 120VAC initially converts it to 300VDC then aplies it to the
inverter circuit.. Still trying to find a schematic to verify. I would
think this technology could be a major help for amp builders allowing us
to build inexpensive power supplies and easily custom wind the inverter
transformers.


Please dig out the ones you have and take photos, front and rear of the
entire unit and if you don't mind, disassemble and photograph and
components. I can host the photos if you wish (email them to me).
This would _really_ help in the evaluation until any of us find
schematics.

Seems i am going to be looking for a couple more as the wife laid claim on
these.


I did find some info saying the switcher was run using IGBTs.
