Re: 33 x 20w on 1 ld11 ?



A simple solution for those watching the thread would be to use 2 LD11's
both on the same housecode ...

can't seem to put my finger on a typical transformer efficiency ATM, but if
they're 95% efficient, you consume 21W of "mains" for every 20W
of "LV" you have. 33x 21W = 693W. If the LD11 is 700W +/-1%
(which seems very tight), that's you at the limit, or over it if the LD11
tolerance is worse. Long explanation, but my short answer would be yes, it
seems too close.
