Need help selecting buck boosters - tanTALK

hmsdon · 04-19-2011, 04:03 PM

Hi, My electrician is trying to figure how to properly size my buck boosters. All of the examples and formulas show how to select if your voltage is above 220v. Our voltage is 218. I have one 27 amp bed and one 45 amp bed. Can anyone steer us in the right direction? Thanks for your help

What do your beds require ? If they require 230 volts order boosters to bring your voltage up. Any good electrical supply should be able to tell you.

You can order pre-wired boosters also.

What beds are they? We have some nice used ones for 1/3 the price of new!

There is one Solaris and one Starpower. Each say 220volts on their data plate.

You want to boost those to about 230V. You need two 12/24 boosters. One can be a 1.0KVA (or bigger) and the other a 1.5KVA (or bigger).

Thanks Robert, I know you also supply lamps from reading previous threads. Could you email me pricing for relamping these beds? Solaris 42 3f and a Starpower 52 4f you can pm @ hmsdon@yahoo.com or call 970 486 0258 Thanks, Don
