Electric meters measure current consumption on both 120v legs when calculating total watt hour consumption. So it matters not one bit if the loads are balanced or unbalanced from a billing point of view. Rumors to the contrary are simply not correct.
The reason for running the amplifier at a higher voltage is that it will reduce the IR voltage drop. Because the operating voltage has doubled, the required current has been cut in half. Therefore the IR drop (loss in the wiring) has been cut in half. 73, Bob, WB4SON ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
