Re: Looking for budget bass amplifier advice
Wow, you hit it, as I'm a lineman for the company serving power to you.
Just a few key thoughts, there is no 220 service to any house, its 240volt, 120/240. Also the most common used transformer is a 50 kva, which is good for 208 amps a leg, now this transformer normally feeds 5 to 20 houses, I know broad ranges but depends on customer demands.
Transformers can be run at there rated output, it does add a lot of heat and depending on the outdoor temps things can get pretty hot. What we are regulated to is maintaining a voltage of 113 to 124 at your riser head, doesn't matter on transformer size at this time. Regulators and cap banks on the primary side are also there to maintain constant voltage, lol in many cases.
As usual lot of topics get off topic, but if the op is thinking of the crest pro 200 series, bring a spare.
Ps, Tim, you do have some old infrastucture, before the 3 stooges era, back in the horse and buggy day linemen to be more exact.
