bill, as long as i dotn run at 120volts it wont matter no? If i say get a shunt to where the max i need to run it is 100 volts i should be fine?

If im heading for a real crap setup as you say, please enlighten me as to what would NOT be crap.

bill, lets say i am able to find a DC psu (one of hte lab ones with ampmeter and voltage meter on it) that is poweful enough to do 350watts continuous and I duct it so that its heat is not affecting the testing. Would this work better than the AC source?

One of the reasons i like the AC source is that there is no big psu that generates heat in the room. but if isnt going to be useful then its no matter. BTW, what if I were to build a step down transformer (step ac 120 to like 100 volts) and build in power regulators to keep it at the voltage and do so stabily? Myself, I could not build such a contraption (well i could, i would just need design specs), but I could have it built for me by someone who does this kinda stuff all the time.
