UDM Query - Power transformer?

[The Hoff]

Hi folks,

UDM coming this week and I'm looking for a transformer, just spotted this on eBay, and I'm wondering if it would work ok?

Here

Or if I'd definitely need one like this and associated plug

This

Cheers

Big no to the first from what I have read on other forums!

 

[The Hoff]

Ah oki, cheers Rich.

Does it pull too much current on it?

 

[Rich]

I am not sure the in and outs behind it, I will ask the old chap when I next see him - he explained it all to me when I was getting my transformer.

Yeah, shame the transformer costs almost half as much as the PC when I bought it. That will be a good benefit of a UK specific machine, the transformer weighs a ton too!

yeah the first one you posted is 45w maximum so it would be ok for a dvd player and that would be about it.

you can get smaller site transformers like a 1kVa one would be ideal

Yeah ordered all the stuff for £62 delivered in the end, 2 outlet 3.3kVa with a 14m extension and a 110v plug. Cheapest I could find, as Screwfix worked out to be £69.
