I am intrigued, the person posting knows that the transformer is rated at 1KVA but states that there is no rating on the unit. Which raises the question, how did he get the information to state that it is 1KVA?savvypaul wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 11:06 amYep, this sort of misinformation fuelled by malicious agenda is what Richard had to put up with...and it seems that some people still have a grudge. I have managed to have a conversation with the OP at Audio Addicts (he posted the thread at several forums). You can read it, here: https://audioaddictsforum.com/thread/18 ... d-balanced
Another post asks how any user knows how much power is being drawn, the obvious answer, not given, is to read the data plates and add the ratings together, the same information will be in the user manual/s.
Then we come to the, reported, absence of any protection circuitry in the BMU, protective devices are present in a UK version, by law the mains plug MUST contain an appropriate fuse (5A in this case I assume) if the fuse in the unit in question was not as supplied by Richard he, and thus NVA, cannot be held responsible.
It seems that too many people refuse to accept any responsibility for their own actions but are perfectly happy to blame someone else, in this case the manufacturer, without checking that they (or possibly a third party) haven't invalidated the approval by using an incorrect fuse.
Finally, many people don't understand the term "rating" as applied to electrical equipment. In this case a 1KVA rated transformer can operate at 1KVA indefinitely without harm. The rating doesn't mean that it will fail at 1KVA, nor does a 5A fuse fail at 5A, it can carry 5A indefinitely. May be we should call it "safe working load" instead then more people might understand.
