[QUOTE="Tim Perry, post: 66739, member: 94"] Re: Looking for budget bass amplifier advice Switching supplies, and even traditional rectifier power supplies present a non linear load to the AC mains. Simply correcting the PF does not alter that fact. I have a large 'amplifier' that draws aprox. 60,000 watts from the AC mains (3 phase 208 V). All is fine until it switches to a 130 kW generator (160 V-A) fifth and 7th harmonics reflect back to the voltage regulator and cause a bit of instability. Solutions that were proposed to remedy this are deemed to costly, therefore power is reduced by 50% when running on generator and all is well. I guess my belief is that in the case of one single little bitty power amp for a bass rig if PF is a problem due to poor power source you got way bigger problems then PFC is gonna remedy. [/QUOTE]
