[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 6599777, member: 555251"] When you say "run", do you mean for testing purposes? Because trying to do this permanently is ghetto-rigging it. Think about what you're doing here. You're trying to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, back to electrical. It's expensive enough trying to rectify AC [I]without[/I] any losses due to conversion...you're simply asking for trouble in doing this. For benchtop use, buy a real power supply that's made to do this. Good test equipment isn't cheap, but it's an investment in your hobby - and you can troubleshoot other people's amps to help defray the costs [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
