Power Supply
The
NEC amplifiers need a healthy supply of 28V to operate and I only had
12V and 48V high current supplies. This
switchmode PSU's had powered multiple NEC V360 amplifiers so
they
seemed to be a good choice for running all the shacks 28V needs |

original input
connector, which I removed in favour of a filtered and fused IEC
socket. Be warned in stock form these are setup for a multi phase
input supply. You need to modify the input wiring but I am not comfortable publishing these details in case some gets it wrong and blames me for an injury or loss. CAUTION: when removing the original mains socket, there is a lock nut on the top left screw as the mains earth is attached to it. The front panel should be removed for access to the nut on the back, removing the panel is quite straight forward. |

The
multi core control cable seen here feeds through to the rear connector, it can
be safely removed when the rear connector is pulled out |

The two left most
pins (looking from the front) of the multi pin connector on the front
panel need to be shorted to enable the PSU to start up. I have circled them in red |

IEC connector in place, this is a fused and filtered version (Altronics P8370A) that I thought appropriate. |

This is the rear connector, I
un-soldered each of the Red and Blue leads from it then completely
removed the connector. This is where that multi core from front control boad comes to. |
