HT power supply (in progress)
3 Attachment(s)
Some time ago I found that what I need is next HT power supply ;D
more compact that my "beaste boys" (20kg weight each) but more powerfull then few tiny I have. Project 200-400V at 200mA + grid up to 100V +powerfull 6A 6,3 V all totaly independent (floating) HT part Valves (2xPL504+EF80+Str85/10) standard regulator with reference voltage on Str85/10, Grid Supply silicon LR8 chip Support Support power supply 5V for HT part meters and cooling fan Voltage mulitplier for EF80 tiny suport power supply for Grid part meters Transformer #1 180VA with HT winding + tapped 6,3 V winding + 2 V winding (mutliply for EF80 heater) + 2 extra windings 20V and 30V (one will be used for grid meters) Transformer#2 toroidal transformer for PL504 heaters Some basic drawings and chassis |

Design based on dimension taken from components from drawer and drawings from internet , but when i get main component (transformer) I found that connectors looks much different then on catalog drawings :-/ and require much more space.
Anyway finally I can design PCB PCB contain voltage multiplier for EF80 heater , support 5V PSU for HT meters & cooling fan (LM317), Grid PSU. LR8 in SMD version because of power dissipation capability, in standard application with 200K log potentiometer. 200K cover range to 100+ volts , logarytmic gives higher precison in low voltage range. Of course the best will be multiturn but I have to buy it. |

Main parts fitted
front , bottom, top |
Re: HT power supply (in progress)
Nice work, any chance of some schematics?

I will publish schematic with description after final tests.
Right now after manufacturing temporary front panel I run tests of HT part. (And like usually in such a cases you get bright new ideas how something can be done better or how project can be developed to higher level ;D) |

ready :-) (with temporary panel)
HT output -fused Heater output - fused Grid output - use internal LR8 protection unfortunetelly chinese meters are unreliable, can't be properly calibrated in full range diagram soon |

As promised-circuit,
if anybody interesting I can try explain how to calculate it it for different input/output voltage |
Re: HT power supply (in progress)
Thanks.

Re: HT power supply (in progress)
What happens if you short the output? Does it survive?

Re: HT power supply (in progress)
Hmm: well the two PL504 valves will get very hot, that's for sure! I'd fit a fast-acting fuse between the HT O/P and the front panel connector. Simply choose a fuse of appropriate rating. And it might be a good idea to fit an 'HT on/off' switch too. I'd also not connect the 0 v. terminal to ground / chassis - better to leave it floating. (Your cct. diag. shows that 0v. at ground / chassis). Your photo shows that you already have an 0v. / earth terminal for when you definitely do want that 0v. at earth / chassis potential.

Re: HT power supply (in progress)
Hi
output is fused diagram with mistake :) "0" on front panel is a middle tap of 6.3 V |
