Made by Iota Engineering, the largest manufacturer of these INDUSTRIAL QUALITY power supplies. IOTA IS THE MAJOR MANUFACTURER behind the scenes and they manufacture DOZENS of major US Brand Names.

WHY invest your hard earned money in CHINESE GARBAGE when you can have TOP QUALITY USA ENGINEERED PRODUCTS. IOTA TECHNOLOGY is the STANDARD OF THE INDUSTRY and far superior to the competition. DON’T BE FOOLED BY CHEAPER PRICES ON “ SIMILAR “ PRODUCTS.

These are the BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY power supplies of this type available on the market today. They are used to supply power to governmental and commercial communications systems, etc.

Iota has a FACTORY TWO YEAR WARRANTY parts and labor and the best warranty in the industry. Astron, Tripp-Lite warranties are Only One Year.

Iota is CERTIFIED 100% Duty Cycle @ 55 CONTINUOUS AMPS - Industrial Quality. Astron, Tripp-Lite, Pyramid are ONLY 50% duty cycle; ONE HALF the power.

These CERTIFIED Industrial/Commercial Quality Power Supplies that are completely filtered and will not cause interference and are ESPECIALLY / FULLY RF / TVI filtered for Marine HF and VHF communications and onboard electronics, Commercial Radio systems, CB and Ham radios HF and VHF, TV’s, etc. They are, also, Industrial TOUGH. They can easily operate 12 vdc appliances like coffee makers, toaster ovens, refrigerators, 12 vdc motors and pumps, etc.

VERY IMPORTANT to Boaters, RV’ers and Reteater owners: These battery chargers/power supplies are protected against Line Voltage Spikes to 190+ vac and Brownouts ( ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU USE A GENERATOR THAT CAN SPIKE TO 180 VOLTS ). The electrical systems at many Marinas and RV parks leave a lot to desired, too. Many are in rural areas or are overloaded during peak seasons making them subject to Brownouts then High Voltage Power Surges and broken grounds, etc. These supplies are the ONLY FULLY SELF PROTECTING supplies/chargers available of this type.

TWO, THREE or more Iota supplies of like size can be COMBINED for additional AMPERAGE demand. Easy to upgrade.

Iota power supplies are 60% more efficient than conventional supplies. Astron, Tripp-lite, Pyramid COST TWICE as much to operate. Iota power supplies will pay for themselves in electrical savings within 3 years of ham shack or 1 year of continuous usage.

Iotas have Constant Voltage / Pure DC Output and are regulated / filtered.

Iota’s thermally controlled fan turns on and off by itself and is smaller - MUCH MORE QUIET.

Iota supplies are completely Overload, Over-temperature, Over-current and Brown-out input Protected.

Iota supplies are DUAL VOLTAGE: 14.2 vdc for equipment operation and fast battery charging; 13.4 vdc for maintaining. Iota’s are protected against reverse polarity on the DC output. All supplies have external user replaceable fuses. They ALSO, have AUTOMATIC resetable internal circuit breakers for voltage spikes.

Excellent HEAVY DUTY WORKHORSE power supply for CONTINUOUS operation of Fire, Police, Government, Commercial and Ham REPEATERS. Low Cost, Reliable and Maintenance Free Operation.

Iota uses ( 3 ) heavy duty Industrial screw clamps accepting UP TO 4 ga cable ( power+, power- and chassis ground ), instead of light duty banana plugs or fragile ring connectors. The larger cable capacity allows for heavier current handling ( because of 100% Continuous Duty Cycle ) and / or remote location of supply without lowering output line voltage to equipment.

Fully RF and TVI filtered and capable of operating a HF/VHF/UHF Ham, Commercial or HF/VHF Marine radio station.

Capable of operating entire RV, Boat or Remote Control DC Power System and Unlimited 12vdc Multi-bank Battery Charging.

Size is: 7” long (x) 6.75” wide (x) 3.75” high.

Input voltage is 108 to 132 vac and 40–70 Hz and consumes ONLY 1100 watts at full demand. Can be operating using a standard 15 amp household receptacle. Iota’s are protected against momentary line voltage spikes to 190+ vac.

Iota’s can be modified for 220 vac input AND 24 output vdc at 25 and 50 amp outputs ( contact us for more info ).

We are the LOWEST PRICE source in the USA for these supplies. Nowhere in the USA will you be able to purchase any NEW power supply with a USA factory fresh warranty of this SIZE and QUALITY cheaper.

CHECK OUR FEEDBACK and BID WITH CONFIDENCE.

The power supply retails for $ 450.00. We are not giving them away, but, since we are Hams, too, our minimum bid is very reasonable for the SIZE and QUALITY of these supplies. All products carry manufacturers warranty only.

We are Professional Systems Designers / Installers and Industrial Distributors. We are available to answer any questions regarding your specific needs. Feel free to e-mail your needs before bidding if you have questions pertaining to any special usage or project.

NEEDED FOR FULLTIME BATTERY CHARGING. IQ-4 Microprocessor-controller ( FACTORY OPTIONAL @ $ 35.00 ) brain turns the supply into a “Automatic TRUE 3 STAGE Smart Charger” allowing Bulk, Absorption, Float stage charging AND AUTOMATIC EQUALIZATION. This option increases the charging capacity of the supply, decreases charge times and insures proper and safe battery conditioning without overheating or overcharging and eliminates the need for constant monitoring over long periods of non-use. Not needed for power supply use.

There's a topic I had.

If you want to see one in action come over to boogie woogie's some time, or just go ahead and do the trade and see how it works..

1x2 is probably the most it'll run. 667V would only do 450-500 watts without a battery, and will do 500-600 with a battery.

2x4 on 1 with a car battery did 900-950 watts.. for extended periods of time.. Didn't really seem to go down, battery doesn't really discharge all that fast if it has 55 continous amps pumping into it while your keying, and in between keys.

That's our experience thus far with 1 iota 55 amp.

Stay tuned for thursday's test with 2 iota 55 amps', 2 deep cycle's and a 2x8 in the house (assuming 547 comes back with it tomorrow) ;) That's the beauty is they are stackable.

Peace,
Josh
 
My Iota DLS 90 has been a workhorse for about 4 years of continuous use now and it is dead quite. It does drop a bit of voltage under a heavy high demand load like an amp, but a battery in line will get you past that.

A very good buy if you are considering one. Just buy bigger than you plan on and you won't be buying two or three down the line.
 
Plan on geting one eventually and hooking it up to my yellow top to run the station. Have heard nothing but good things abotu these power supplies, Im suprized more people dont use them.
