Infinite 7.
What is the thd on this test for k10? It changes during test? As power changes?

You mean its number of transistors?    
Some tests are quite tempting on its brother
1) how does abeltronics test them? Create sinus 50hz for 100ms plays on the level of clip and measure voltage on dummy load? Got from it both thd and power.
2)Limiter in void will not allow me to measure on such strong burst like k10?
It could be good for thd though.


That's not an Infinite 8v2…

I meant 40hz
This powersoft isnt just a burst either..

Those void measurements are continuous measurements. So on this k10 chart they would be just straight line exept the 2R burst for 0.1s (4158w) that later should fall to 3112)
Regret there is no thd for this burst 100ms for void.

Hmm
Why powersoft has 7500W on burst 100ms falling to 1200W and infinite 4158 falling to 3112. Its a HUGE unproportion.

Very true Abletronics were about 100ms in some cases and ive seen 33 and 66 and as low as 5 and 12 also to be included which as been mentioned already is the freq at which the signal is delivered in an attempt to determine a power supply's strength and weaknesses. The difference comes in what are manufactures burst signals made of that's how it appears to me that they need to come together and decide on real world comparators to use, as oppose to the EIA standard 40ms burst @ 1khz

[QUOTE=gen0me] Hmm any estimate how much will have for example infinite 8 in burst?

https://www.abeltronics.co.uk/amptesting.php?z=Void_Infinite_8_mk2

Infinite 8 appears to behave well under burst testing conditions but Toastyghost hits the nail on the head with his analysis of the K20. What makes them different to the toroidal is the pfc (Power factor correction)where in a nut shell the amp will deliver its wattage regardless of voltage fluctuation which most know anyway.I own smp amps But do they deliver what it says on the can its close but NO it reminds me of the new washing machine it says it can spin at 1400rpm it can with two panty and pair of socks, once we start loading it up we have to change the settings so its considerably slower.

Weak in comparison to amount of transistors. Old toroid vs new powersoft.
Can you give some examples of music material where limiter starts working?

Why old transformers around 120% rms power rise distortion so dramatically?
Does it mean that powersofts have enough transistors for this 7kW as I understand thd is acceptable but weak psu? Or will those old transformers have also acceptable thd in burst?


Define 'weak' - it takes well under half a second to fully recharge the caps in a K series.

1 second of above rated power at 2 ohms is enough for the vast majority of even bass heavy material - remember that most tunes don't sustain a single note at full power for more than that. We work with a whole bunch of stuff that tests the boundaries of what could be called 'music' and even then, don't find it lacking.

We tend to run our K20s at 4r per channel, simply to give that 10s spread. A reduction of ~18% is perfectly acceptable at 10 second sine wave duration.
