All:
Background:
I have acquired a brand new MTH PS1 fan-driven smoke unit (part # AA0000011). The original thought was to drive it with my Mean Well LRS-150-12 (Input: 120 VAC Output: 12 VDC, 12.5 A) power supply. I have determined that 12VDC isn't quite enough power to make it smoke (fan does run). I was able to get to function correctly at 15 VAC (it will run on A/C or D/C).
Question(s):
- Can anyone recommend a DC step-up transformer to get 12VDC to 15VDC (or an adjustable value)?
- My preferred solution is to use a transformer rather than another power supply to do this. I will be driving (eventually) up to 4 such smoke units. Any problems with this approach?
- Is there a better way to do this?
Thank you!
