Iwaki RD30...for those that have experience with one, I have a few questions please

[Waterlogged]

i have no idea.. ima have to tell hank about that later.

But i am 100% sure, that wont work for an RD-30.

Possible an RD-20, but definitely not a RD-30.

As i said, we got into a HUGH debate on that when the RD-30 was the Must have Rolls Royce pumps.
The debate was that a S150-24 wasnt enough and could cause start up damage.

Hm, skinnee just confirmed it will work .

Thats what i thought, plus it doesnt output at 18v which is what i really want, the easiest option is to mod the pot on my meanwell i think?
I dont have a problem with soldering or electronics iv wired and soldered the fan controller etc to suit my trigger switches, iv done a lot of fiddly stuff with IC 4026 counting chips for my technology course so this should be a breeze, anyone know of any good 40W pots that would suit the need, i guess i could use V=IR to work out what resistance i need too?

If you look closely at the unit, it looks variable, even says so in the specs.
