The KPA1500 power supply container houses several power supplies. Only a small one is on all the time. It can run a microcontroller and switch the larger supplies, but not much else. The 50V and 12v supplies are switched completely off when the amp is “off”. The fans are associated with the

I leave my KPA1500 PS on continuously, whether I'm local or remote. No observed ill effects. When the amp is off, the PS is silent. I haven't measured its current drain in that condition but I expect it is minimal. I have a remote relay box that I could use to key a larger relay in the 230V AC

Here’s a thread from the Flex Community regarding remote relay setups to control power to 220v amps with some good ideas. https://community.flexradio.com/discussion/8023204/remote-220-240vac-switch#latest I built a remote 220v power switch using this relay from Amazon
