FAQ
Q: Why did Elecraft select the Power Werx SS30DV power supply to sell?
A: Elecraft found that the Power Werx SS30DV worked for power their demo booths at Hamfests for well over 3 years. We're confident that it meets our criteria for a low-noise, small sized power supply suitable for very small shacks yet can support an entire K-Line or KX-Line of products, as our customers expand their systems.
Q: Does the fan run all the time?
A: Yes, but its speed will vary on the transmitting load. When receiving, the fan cannot be heard.
Q: Do I have to adjust the output voltage on the SS30DV to operate with my Elecraft gear?
A: No. The SS30DV is factory-adjusted to provide input voltage for Elecraft radios to meet specified RF output specs, 13.8 volts DC.
Q: I'd like to order the SS30DV but I live outside the US. Can I order cables with the proper AC plug for my region? will it work with 220/240 volt outlets?
A: Yes. Please order the proper AC plug/cable from the list of cables available for the KPA500. You can find these on the KPA500 product order page. The SS30DV can be switched to operate world wide in 120 volt or 220/240 volt AC power distribution systems.
