Ok, so I bought this DC buck reducer and connected a torridal tranformer to a rectifying bridge to get my 80vdc to power this thing and it's been working beautifully. My current configuration is as fallows:
AC Mains ---> Primary on Marantz toridal power tranformer --> rectifying bridge --> Variable voltage device.
Here are some not so pretty pictures, but trust me, it works....
So, like I was saying, this super simple configuration is working beautifully, I've been using this thing as my benchtop power supply to power or charge anything that falls within it's 80v 5a limit. however! the damn Marantz toridal transformer part weighs about 40lbs! It's big, it's bulky and I want to get rid of it for something much smaller. I currently have the voltage regulator mounted to a face plate on an electrical outlet box as well as the rectifying bridge inside it mounted in such a way as to use the box itself as a heat-sync. I'm hoping to drastically reduce or eliminate the transformer to something more reasonable, preferably something that will fit inside the electrical box. The regulator says the input can be anywhere from 10v to 90v DC, I'm hoping to get somewhere in the 80v range to power it as that's what I'm currently getting out of the Marantz. Any suggestions?
P.S, by portable, I just mean not 50lbs, AC mains will continue to be the power source.
