Description
A solid linear british-made Farnell power supply for more demanding jobs.
Two ranges - 30V 10A and 70V 5A.
Note that changing the range switch not only doubles / halves the output voltage, it also changes the meter scale. So it's fairly easy to mis-read it as 25V when it's actually putting out 50V etc. Be careful, or you may fry your circuit sooner than you intended.
Status
Working. probably.
- Replaced shorted output transistor and about 6 others
- Roughly working. Output controllable. Not thoroughly tested.
- I broke an output terminal
ToDo
- Soak test
- Replace output terminals (replacements need trags redrilling - WIP)
- Place in usable location (maybe under the solder oven, on a stand, with nice long thick DC leads added).
Documents
Notes
- Side panels were sourced cut-to-size from ebay seller sgs132 for about £13 total. These are stainless, aluminium woud have been a couple of pounds cheaper.
