- Greetings, I'm building another power supply for my amplifier project. I originally set out to use a capacitor input design commonly used but have since (tonight) found a large (13H) choke. I was tol

- Choke filters work well in applications where the load current is constant - such as RTTY, AM linear and FM. With SSB, where the load current is not constant, a choke filter causes a transient V reg

- When using a large filter choke in my hv power supply, I experienced 2 problems. First, the collapsing field blew the diodes out. Second, there were resonances that caused problems at certain current

- I've used negative lead filtering and tuned choke input very successfully. By using the RIGHT value of capacitor, you can get quite good regulation - in conjunction with a suitable bleeder, of course

- As I said in my previous, you don't actually resonate the choke. A parallel tuned circuit looks like a pure resistance at resonance. That's using the definition of resonance that applied voltage and

- I'd say DON'T do it anyway. Of course Rich, you realise that you can't use a 3-500z as a variable load when testing the system, as 100 or 120Hz is below its cut off frequency!!!!!!! 73 Peter G3RZP --

- I'm not sure if that happens with a tuned choke (I don't like calling it 'resonant' because we've seen it had better not be!) but those spikes are why you need a good big capacitor on the output to k

- Indeed - like about 5cm of #18 - which has c. 50milli-ohms. However, shorting the choke with #18 copper might work a bit better for 8281 supplies since it 50x more conductive. On the other hand, res
