Hi Name is Dwayne (ve6qx)
I recently changed out the electrolitic caps in my 3800 volt power supply.
from 10 210 Mfd at 450 volts to 10 530Mfd at 450 volts per cap. I did this
thinking that I would lessen the decay of the voltage when the amp is
keyed.. The power supply is a voltage doubler..
But I'am thinking perhaps all I did was provide to much capacitance for
the capability of the transformer.. Perhaps this is more stress on the
trnasformer.??? All I have noticed is a longer decay time for the voltage
to return to zero when shutting down the amp.(makes sence,more capacitance)
Other then that it works fine.. Thanks and maybe someone has a explanation of what's going on cause of this change in cap..
