val Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 One option to power 100 W. S. was Elektromaschinensatz IV. This was used by Luftwaffe to supply mains voltage (220V) to NA8, "1,5 kVA, die 220 V Einphasenwechselstrom" Those are the closest images i have so far: http://www.kfzderwehrmacht.de/Homepage_english/Trailers/Special_trailers/Ah__322-2/ah__322-2.html Does anyone have better images?

kriegsfunker Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Surprising that the NA8 was used in vehicles. Why have 2 heavy items when only one was necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange yes, but this was one option out of 5.

kriegsfunker Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 There is a 100 WS on eBay dated 1936. I think there were a lot of them manufactured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you save the serial number from there? I remember Gabbertje had also 1936 http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6278741 KPEMIG had 1937 https://www.kpemig.de/100-Watt-Sender-LS-100-108-Frontplatte-Originallack-Gehaeuse-aus-Holz-nachgebaut-Funktion-nicht-geprueft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funksammler Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I don't think the Electromachinensatz IV had much to do with the 100 W.S., this seems to be more for lighting and general duties. There was a special generator set for the 100 W.S., so the transmitter could either be powered directly from a generator, from a 12V vehicle battery using the U100 and from mains power using the NA8. It seems overkill to carry both the U100 and NA8 in a vehicle (a Kfz 305 by the looks of it), but the Luftwaffe was rather lavishly equipped compared to the army.

val Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 @Funksammler - i can only guess that since Luftwaffe used Elektromaschinensatz IV universally for any other purpose anyway, they adapted it to use with NA8 / 100 W. S. as well. I think Thote has solid reference but it would be nice to see some other source too. ps. any images of Sendegleichrichter S.Gl.T 100?
