The G2BT paging Transmitter is supplied with a NEMA L14-30P plug. 240V/12-V is supplied
from a center-tapped transformer. The two 120V circuits are 180 degrees out of phase, therefore
240VAC is available betweent he phases. All equipment in the G2BT operates off 120VAC
other than the 4 high-current power supplies that provide power to the RF power amplifiers. The
high-current power supplies operate off the 240 VAC.
AC start-up in-rush current may be as much as 100amps, lasting less than 5mS. Typical AC
current draw of the station is 15 amps during transmission, and 3.5 amps during standby.
