Accuphase E-260 Voltage Conversion (100V to 230V)


Hello Forum Members,

I have an Accuphase E-260 Int. Amplifier wired for 100V wall outlets. I am trying to convert it to 230V. From various threads on this forum, I could figure out that this unit has quick connect terminals for winding wires. It was less daunting to find that out!
Can somebody pls help with it's 230V wiring diagram?

Thanks @frankhhh for posting the pictures of E-260 and E-270.

If I understand you correctly, E-260 and E-270 primary winding color as follow:

winding on E-260 / E-270

1. 120V orange / yellow

2. 100V red / orange

3. 0V gray / red

4. 120V yellow / brown

5. 100V brown / black

6. 0V white / gray

7. T. fuse violet / blue

If above color code is correct, the voltage settings of E-270 should be as below ( pin numbered from left to right according to provided picture ):

120V setting : pin1 = None, pin2 = orange, pin3 = yellow + brown, pin4 = black, pin5 = blue, pin6 = red + gray

220V setting : pin1 = black, pin2 = yellow, pin3 = orange, pin4 = red + brown, pin5 = blue, pin6 = gray

230/240V setting : pin1 = black, pin2 = orange, pin3 = yellow, pin4 = red + brown, pin5 = blue, pin6 = gray

 

 

Hello imhififan, 

Yes, I think the color mapping should be as detailed as you describe

Then I jump to 120v setting and it can work. The output voltage become about 49v(maybe my AC input is only 115v)

Thanks for your great help.😄

@frankhhh

As I mentioned, confirm which wire belongs to which primary winding by a DMM!

If convert 100V to 220V or 230/240V, you need to 100% sure the resistance between gray wire and blue wire is 0 ohm, use a ohm meter to measure before connect the gray wire to pin6.

 

Hello imhififan,

OK, Got it.

My current requirement is 120v, thanks for your reminder.
