--- Quote from: Hydron on December 02, 2023, 01:18:15 pm ---Does the 34401A not also have a 240V line voltage setting? Or was that not enough to fix the issue? Glad the suggestion helped with the other unit. --- End quote --- It does, but other than my 33120A it was already set to 240 V. So for both devices, setting them to 240 V line voltage helped but didn’t fully resolve the issue. |

I will use a 230V/24V transformer and use it as an bucking transformer to reduce the input voltage on the primary of the original transformer. That should work without introducing side effects. I will keep you updated. --- End quote --- Bucking transformer is indeed the right way to go if you need to drop mains voltage a little. If you do it in the configuration shown in Fig. 4 here then you also avoid saturation issues on the bucking transformer: https://sound-au.com/articles/buck-xfmr.htm I would test by dropping the voltage a bit with a variac first though to be sure it's actually going to solve the issue before spending the time and money wiring up the bucking transformer. --- End quote --- Thanks for the suggestion, i already hacked together a classic bucking transformer using tranformer from an old ac/ac wall plug, but i think that i dont have any saturation effects in the bucking transformer itself. The output of the bucking transformer is now 206V RMS. When i bould a proper 3d printed housing for the transformer i will change the circuit to the one you suggested. The effect on the TDS 460A is now barely noticable and ob my Tek 2230 the screen is completely stable. I will add some mu-metal anyway, because i already ordered it. But i think the bucking transformer is the best solution. |

Can someone give me a hint where to get something like that ready to use? Or what to look for? I read through the link @Hydron provided and I’m definitely not knowledgeable enough about AC stuff to start fiddling around with something here myself (like, if someone would point me to a transformer that’s safe to use and does the job, I could safely put it to use, but I don’t know enough to find the right transformer myself). I tried to search the web, but didn’t really find anything useful. |

a good UPS might do it too if you want a integrated solution. they have taps to reduce voltage. |
