Hi Folks,
This is off topic I suppose but the PS will be used on Ten-Tec equipment!
I acquired a very heavy 40# perhaps PS which is not properly regulated (16 V).
I was told it was from a repeater and that it was a Johnson 30 amp continuous.
I thought this would be an easy fix.
There are heavily heatsinked diodes. There is a substantial choke and
appropriate filter caps. There is a large two section transformer. There is a
small section which vaguely resembles a VR but there are no pass transistors.
Anyone know how this thing might work? Could it be a saturable reactor? Any
one know how to regulate the output?
I realize that I'm not giving a lot of information but perhaps enough for
someone to point me towards help. I have worked on a few supplies but never
one like this!
Thanks,
Rich KF3DQ
