Re: power conversion

Thanks for the quick response.  So, is that unit you have a 'toroidal' 
converter?  No noise 
problems - very good indeed!   With my setup, I'm needing to draw around 
1000 watts.  
Is that in your ball park?   I'm looking at a unit that sounds similar to 
your description - a 
little bigger though.  I think that I need to do some minor wiring which 
is not a problem.  
I'm a student here (Devon - of all places) and the tech guys at my school 
are fantastic.
