What is your DC pack voltage? The Iota has a 120vac input, which it simply rectifies to produce about 170vdc. This is what powers the internal DC/DC converter. As long as your pack is reasonably close to this, it should work. I have a little experience with the Iotas. They generally worked with 144vdc packs, but at 120vdc or less the output was reduced, and at less than 96vdc had the problem you mentioned with very low output, and tended to overheat. -- Excellence does not require perfection. -- Henry James -- Lee A.
