hi all, yes it's the dumb guy again.
            i have a question that has been bothering me for some time.
while i was building my system i needed to curent limit my pt. i tried
to use my 20 amp veryac. it worked ok until i got to 70v output, at
330-1 this gave me 23100v. this seemed to be a threshold of sorts. if i
went higher my powerstat would start to smoke. so my first question is
how does evryone use a veryac to limit there current.
           my next idea was to use two dry type transformers, since i
wanted my sys. to be able to plug into any 110 outlet for mobility, i
thaught that i would input the 110v into the 240 primary side. steping
it down to 55v, then conecting it to the 110v line side of the second
trans. steping it back up to 110v. both transformers were the the same
make model and 500va. but doing this resulted in a very large curent
draw triping my 15amp breaker.
           can anyone tell me why this didn't work? am i missing
something?
 thanks to all.and if anyone posted any info on "more new caps" would
they please send me the info off list. my mail server had major problems
over the weekend resulting in me not getting any messages and loosing
them as well.

          thanks again.    mem
