In Reply to: I have to respectfully disagree with you. posted by Quiet Earth on March 13, 2007 at 21:11:07:
My original statement was about transformers, not about complete balanced power units. The BPTs do offer better parts options than Equi=Tech and that I can agree with. I don't know why you have a Plitron transformer in your Son of Q. Maybe because its the son and not the father -:). Equi=Tech makes their own trannies. In making the comparison I was talking about an Equi=Tech manufactured transformer versus Plitron, not one grade of Plitron versus another. The 20A Equi=Tech I have is 12" diameter and weighed in at 60lbs for the bare transformer. I know of other 15A and 20A Equi=Tech branded transformers weighing in at about 60 lbs. A 20A Plitron I had (again, bare transformer) was about 8" diameter, weighed in at 32 lbs and tripped a 20A breaker on the first 2-3 attempts to energize it. Its likely that BPT has spec'd their transformers from Plitron to have low inrush current. The Equi=Tech tranny has never tripped a breaker. Inrush current measured with my Fluke meter is a low 2.5 amps.
