[Elecraft] KPA1500 Power Supply Fan Noise

Hello, all and Happy Field Day. Say I just wanted to comment about Elecraft service and the help they provided me to make a mod to my KPA1500. My KPA1500 power supply fan was rather noisy. I had seen discussion on the reflector about this so I contacted Doug at Elecraft service. He ask if I

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 Power Supply Fan Noise

I suspect the reason the power supply fans run at constant speed is that they are part of the Meanwell power supply, and beyond Elecraft's control due to warranty issues, etc. I certainly can't fault Elecraft for using that power supply, as it's cost effective and probably helped get the

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 Power Supply Fan Noise

How loud is the noise? Can you measure it at all? There are many smart phone apps that are really good. I compared my iPhone to a bench standard and it was off by less 0.5db at most frequencies. Pretty impressive actually. Mike va3mw On Tue, Jun 11, 2019 at 9:49 AM Richard Thorne wrote: >

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 Power Supply Fan Noise

My KPA1500 s/n 156 had such a problem with PS audible noise.?? It was fixed with two mods available from Elecraft, one a new LED board and another with a resistor addition to the MeanWell power supply output?? The latter was probably not associated with noise but it's an addition that was not

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 Power Supply Fan Noise

Eric -- this is not at all normal! My PSU is quiet...hardly hear it from under the table. I understand Elecraft changed to much quieter fans maybe two years ago. But even so, perhaps the voltage to your fans has soared way to high? I haven't looked at the circuit driving them. Maybe lost

[Elecraft] KPA1500 Power Supply Fan Noise

More broadly, has there been any progress on reducing the piercing power supply fan noise on the KPA1500 when only using it as a tuner or an antenna switch?  I complained about this a year ago, and I find it completely unacceptable.  No set of noise-reducing headphones that I have tried works

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 power supply fan

Rick, You can do it that way, but be advised that a Y-BOX can also support remote power up of the amp. using a K3 macro, so no 12V supply or remotely controlled IP switch is needed. See https://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/Y-BOX/Features.html#Remote . If you're driving the KPA1500 with a non-Elecraft

We think the solution is to provide 12 vdc into the rem connector from a wall wart and are testing to see if the wart was controlled remotely via an IP switch if it would solve the problem Rick K2XT __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 power supply fan?

Not likely. 2400W output, optimistic efficiency 95%, you've got to dump >125W heat key down at full power on high duty cycle modes. It has a fan, but who cares? You can move the power supply away from operating desk (very happy about this feature!) and besides, if you're concerned about fan

I’ve seen no mention of a fan inside the power supply cabinet of the new KPA1500. Anyone know if one is there and what might be the noise impact? Variable speed maybe? 73, Charles, K4ZRJ __ Elecraft mailing list Home:
