[ARC5] Filament Power Sources

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

I had mentioned changing the output voltage of a heavy 5 volt power 
supply to 13.8. I found an old note about that power supply. It was a 12 
volt supply intended to provide 12.0000000 volts and I changed a 
resistor so it could be adjusted to 13.8 Volts. I did NOT tweak it from 
5 Volts all the way to 13.8 Volts. The pot wouldn't make it go past 
about 12.3 volts. The supply was for 75 amps. I never even got it more 
than lukewarm (grin). I installed a meter and shunt to monitor the 
current and the meter maxed out at 30 Amps. I *never* pinned that meter.

73,
