Ah crap, no, I forgot the whole point of this was to find something for 230V input.

I can't find anything on eBay. Your best bet is to look at local electronic stores that sell security equipment. 24VAC output at 1 amp is a VERY common option for powering security cameras and controllers.

Actually its 220v but as the seller states it comes with Triad wallcharger so I think I will only need this converter or am I wrong ?

 

[Beefy]

Trust me, just find something locally. It will be easier, cheaper, and much more likely to get you exactly what you need.

Yes I pretend to do that but I need to know what I'm looking for, so the step down 220v to 120v like that in my link is the only thing I need ?

 

[Beefy]

If you buy something locally, you won't need the step down transformer.

Just look around at your local electronics shops for a 220V input, 24VAC at 1 amp output wallwart. You *will* be able to find something, because they are a very common item for security systems.

*double post*

Godammnit, what is up with the forums today?!?!

Skip the converter. They just add noise and as Beefy stated, you only need a 230Vac local wall wart that puts out 24Vac @ 1A.

Locally, all you have to ask for is a 24Vac, 1amp wall wart power supply or power transformer. Since you're calling locally, the shop will sell you the correctly plugged 230Vac unit. Then you will only need the loose cable than goes from the wall wart to the amp. If the amp you buy comes with the US wall wart, you can reuse the cord from that wall wart on your locally sourced one. Worst case, you have to buy a new cord from Tom's Beezar.com web shop for a Mini-MAX, Millett Hybrid MAX, or the new V1.2 MOSFET-MAX.

Note: This all assuming you are looking to power a MAX amp.

Its the Minimax , by reusing you mean cut ? The wall wart in europe doesn't come with the same cord ?

Bleh so much trouble.. Maybe would be better buy a european version amp

There are numerous MiniMAX owners and builders in Europe. None of them have had any trouble finding a walwart with the correct rating and connector.

EDIT: This one at Farnell should work perfectly:
http://uk.farnell.com/multicomp/t240...Ntt=24VAC750ma

 

[Beefy]

I found that at Farnell as well, and it is great as the connector is the correct size. But I still reckon something could be had cheaper - IF the effort was made to look at a local store......

Does it need to be exactly 24v 1000ma ?

found this one I think its this , for50$ ...

No, 750mA minimum, as high as 2A and you should be OK.

But it HAS to be AC, and I can't tell from that page whether that adapter is AC or DC.

The most common are the 12v ones .. Dont seems to find 24 besides that one.

 

[Beefy]

Yes, it has to be 24V
