Hi there all,
My ez b is here. Yeah
Whilst testing I was just wondering if I could use a wall wart to power the ez b to save my batteries?
The one that I have in mind is
Input 100 -240V 50/60Hz0 15A Output 7V 42A
Before I go and blow up my beloved ez b I thought I would check with my peers on the forum
Thanks guys and girls
You could always make up a small extension lead using 2.5mm 3 core flex and in effect change the moulded plug to a standard plugtop with a 13A fuse in it, that way the plug top fuse should blow before you get any problems.
It's likely to only pull a full load if your EZ-B and accessories are demanding a combined 42A anyway. When pulling less it should have less of a demand on the AC side.
The house wiring should be 2.5mm ring main backed up by a 32A MCB or RCD so the cable can take the 15A load and depending on the make of socket that may take 15A, MK rate theirs at 13A maximum (however I am sure they can be pushed as anything can, MK just wouldn't accept liability or blame)
