341. [Amps] Power Supply Turn Off Under Load (score: 1)
Author: TexasRF@aol.com
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 11:17:29 EST
There have been a couple of recent mentions of the bad effects of turning off a hv power supply that is under full load. A google search didn't turn up useful information so I am wondering if a reade

Hi Jean, there several ways to measure the 1A current flow. One method is to measure voltage drop across the 47 ohm resistor. If you are doing that with a typical digital voltmeter it will display a

Hi Gary, it sounds like you are close to success on this project. On the issue of efficiency, it will be the better at higher drive levels for a couple of reasons. One, as drive is lowered, the plate

All this reverse EMF stuff has me concerned about some KAPOW events seen in the past. I saw one event that destroyed circuit board traces in the primary circuit of a power supply located in another p

I missed this question on the first pass. When the amplifier is tuned for maximum power out, the Q has virtually nothing to do with peak tank circuit voltages. It has everything to do with circulatin

Kathy, considering the SB200 has been around more than 40 years and yours lasted that long without the soft start modifications, one might hope it would continue on a few more years without them. Wha

Think about this again. The SB200/220 both use a voltage doubler capacitor filter hv supply. We know that peak currents in these type supplies can be five to ten times the average current. So, with a

Hi Jim, the math is well known so I won't repeat it here. You are 100% correct about the THOUSANDS of SB200/220 units in service. The discussion had addressed replacing BLOWN diodes and it only makes

Carey, you can confirm resonance with the plate tuning capacitor. If you see a peak in output power while adjusting the control, there is resonance. A slight increase in C will lower the frequency of

Hi Carey, flapper tuning is the best (maybe only) method for resonating a strip line plate circuit. There are always losses in these circuits due to unavoidable resistance in the metal parts and rf c
