600V Power Supply for QRO HF Amplifiers

Here the schematic design diagram of 600V power supply for QRO HF amplifiers. Amateur Radio Transmitters working with valves such as 807 or1625 operates properly using a plate voltage in between 600V to 700 Volts. The circuit described below is actually a full wave voltage doubler. The output voltage is twice the input voltage. For 230V AC input the output is going to be close to 600 Volts.

Resister R1 is applied to minimize the initial high voltage and high currents. Capacitor C1, C2, C3 along with coils L1 and L2 form input line filter. The capacitors C4 and C5 protects diodes from high voltage transients on the AC line as well as minimizes inter carrier hum modulation of the R.F picked up by the mains. Capacitors C6 and C7 gives sufficient filtering for the output DC Voltage.

Parts List:

C1, C2, C3 = 0.1 mf 630V
C4, C5 = 0.01 mf 630V
C6, C7 = 100 mf 450V
R1 = 10E 5W Wire Wound
R2, R3 = 220KE 2Watts
D1, D2 = BY127
D3, D4 = BY127
L1, L2 = 12 Turns 18 SWG, Wound over 4 Cm, long Ferrite Rode.

LM317T Voltage Regulator Circuit with Pass Transistor

This is the schematic diagram of voltage regulator circuit with pass transostor. The regulator is based regulator IC of LM317T. The LM317T output current can be raised by utilizing an additional power transistor (on circuit, it is 2N2955) to share a portion of the total current. The amount of current sharing is established with a resistor placed in series with the LM317 input and a resistor placed in series with the emitter of the pass transistor. In the above scheme design , the pass transistor will start conducting when the LM317 current reaches about 1 ampere, due to the voltage drop across the 0.7 ohm resistor. Current limiting happens at about 2 amperes for the LM317 which will drop about 1.4 volts across the 0.7 ohm resistor and make a 700 millivolt drop across the 0.3 ohm emitter resistor. Thus the total current is limited to about 2+ (.7/.3) = 4.3 amperes.

Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) 12V Battery Charger with Current Limiting

This is the circuit design of Smart Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) 12V Battery Charger featuretwith Current Limiting. The charger uses a two step process for charging SLA batteries – a current limited ‘fast’ mode followed by a constant voltage ‘float’ mode. Maximum charging current is 1A. An onboard LED indicates when the charger is in ‘fast’ mode. When the LED goes out the battery is charged and the charger has switched to ‘float’ mode.

13.8 Volt 20 A Power Supply

This PSU has been especially designed for current-hungry ham radio transceivers. It delivers safely around 20Amps at 13.8V. For lower currents, a separate current limiting output, capable of 15ma up to a total of 20A has been added. The power transformer should be capable to deliver at least 25A at 17.5 to 20V. The lower the voltage, the lower power dissipation. The rectified current will be “ironed” by the C1, whose capacity should not be less than 40.000uF, (a golden rule of around 2000uF/A), but we recommend 50.000uF. This capacity can be built up by several smaller capacitors in parallel. The base of this design is a simple 12V regulator (7812). The output voltage can be brought to desired value (here 13.8V) by two external resistors (R5 and R6) using this formula: U= 12(1+R5/R6) The low currents (here 15mA) will keep the 7812 in its regular function. As soon as the current rises over 15ma, the voltage drop on R4 will “open” the Q3, actually handling the high output current. Thi
