I wouldn't. The one's I've seen have a 5% tolerance. The fact that you are more than 5% out and the fact that POCO voltage might vary would lead me to use the buck & boost. It looks to me like you would be in the market for a .5kva 32v secondary b/b transf such as 9T51B0208 GE

The manufacture said we burnt the control board. They said anything over 230 we cause this to burn up.

How expensive are these control boards? This always has a lot to do with how much of a chance I'm willing to take. That 250 from POCO sounds like it's on the high side and should only go down during peak hours but you never know . Is this a normal reading in your area ( it's high for here )?

Did you use 240 as the starting voltage to retap the buck/boost transformer?

Thanks all for the hekp yeterday:smile: I was at that house fighting a migraine headache and could barley think. but I am going to look in the books tommorow at the shop and call the tech support for the bed to get some more info.
The two control pannels are about 140.00.
I was starting my calcs after the buck boost. But with POCO so high I am leaning towards a diffrent buck boost. I did not put the new contol panels in until I get the voltage under control. It is deffinatley a learnig process with this one.
Again thanks for the help and I will re-post with the final outcome.
