[Elecraft] KPA1500 power supply (remote)

[Lou Laderman]

Here’s a thread from the Flex Community regarding remote relay setups to control power to 220v amps with some good ideas.

https://community.flexradio.com/discussion/8023204/remote-220-240vac-switch#latest

I built a remote 220v power switch using this relay from Amazon 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07FCJ39QR?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I’m using an old 110v to 12v wall wort that’s plugged into one of the receptacles on a Digital Loggers web pro switch to control the relay. Works extremely well. It’s behind my router so if my network goes down I can’t access it directly. There are web switches available that can be directly accessed if that’s an important need for you.

Hello!

when you use the KPA1500 remotely, the power is always on. With which it
could spend several years on continuously. Could this be harmful to
the power supply?

Is it thought and designed to withstand this?

Is there a way to turn the power on and off remotely?

thanks!
