Thanks Scott for the reply!
I don't quite understand how the Astron power supply can be rated at 16
amp continuous and also be labeled as 50% duty cycle. Does that mean I
can continuously draw 16 amps of power from the supply intermittently,
and by inference draw 8 amps continuous continuously (100% duty)? Hmmm.
Just another ponderence I had.
Thanks,
