This text is posted for me to http://www.electronics-lab.com/forum/index.php?board=13;action=display;threadid=196;start=165 ***************************************************** I don't understand like they where carried out the calculations of this original PSU from Mixos. I have carried out the following changes: D1 D2 D3 D4 for component brige S4VB (8A 200V) with heatsink C1 3300uF x 50V for 10000uF x 50V R7 0.47 ohms 5W for 0.47 ohms 10W Q2 2N2219 for TIP31A with heatsink R15 1K 1/4W for 100 ohms 1/2W Q4 2N3055 with heatsink and fan The correccion suggest AUDIOGURU, thank's!!! Working with 1V 3A the brige burn not hot R7 burn 2N3055 very hot He wanted to know that you probe I carry out. Since the values of the original components are very below those that I have changed. I was very silly of not seeing that the difference of Voltage, 24 V to 1v it represent 23V * 3A = 69W this is the heat to dissipate for 2N3055 is to much for one device, the heatsink is to big. The power dissipation at 25 grade centigrade is 115W but TC case 75 grade is only ~60 grade. I request them they excuse me but it was very delighted with this PSU thinking that it had already bean proven (testeada). In any way the idea is very good but there would be that dimension most of the components ones and therefore the printed circuit. Until soon and thank you. ************************************************* I am very happy of being able to speak with you. C1 across Voltage is 31V I am a doctor in medicine but I like the electronics for that reason I am studying ,my I finish exam it was regrettably on feeding sources (PSU) when I began this project it doesn't revise my notes. For example for an output of 30V 3A the VA to transformer it should be 207W. The value for rectifiers it is of three times the half current n this case 9A and the voltage for each diode 200V. The C1 = (40 * 10000) / RLoad For 30V 3A RLoad = 10 ohms C1 = 40000uF insulation is output to filter more 50% in this case around 150V.(it is loaded to the pick tension 60V minimum). I can be mistaken but it is what you/they taught me . I thank you your attention By AudioGuru
