mitchbowman Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 So I've recently bought a new behringer ep4000 which just happened to turn up as a 120v model after him assuring me that it was 240v which a bit of a major dilemma.Long story short he won't exchange it and I'm stuck with the expensive paper weight.Anyone got any good options as with what I could do to fix it ?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchbowman Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 I thought about that Would you have any idea about the size of transformer needed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchbowman Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Is 100w really big enough ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchbowman Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Wouldn't the amp have a maximum draw of 1152w from the 120v socket ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarred Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 heres a simple calc Watts = Voltage x CurrentSo 1000w = 240 x 4.16ASo 120v amp drawing 3a = 360w.So basically you'll want a step down transformer to cover that, most list there output power which would be the 120v side... you will want some headroom on that eg you may need 1000w but go 1500w just incase due to losses in the equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
