As you increase the power supply capacitance, the on-time of the diodes in the bridge rectifier gets shorter and shorter, which increases the peak current that the diodes must conduct. I have no idea what the peak current demands are with the present power supply capacitance or even if it is approaching the specified maximum, but be aware of this going forward. What do you hope to improve by doubling the power supply capacitance?
Off topic, but what else is new...Was thinking on ordering 2 of these, populate with a dozen caps and stick in a box next to a WOPL to around double the capacitance in the PS. Anything I should be aware of or ensure that I do other than don't get electrocuted?
Yes, planning on using 2 pin, 10 mm spacing. Around 24k uF per board, 2 boards.
Chassis take an end shock Lee? Looks like a 400 chassis I just picked up recently.Cathy does sound good, been listening all afternoon and up till now....sometimes even forgetting it's a quasi...
The copper heatsinked beauty is up next for a G board
160VDC caps in mind?
Yep, shipped in an inappropriate box..
Yeah, I originally was looking at 100V but then thought, why do what PL did? I will likely use it on 400 or 700 so will be good for both. While I have your attention Joe, can you think of a good 4 way connector I could use that would handle the amperage? It would be nice to be able to plug it in to the side/back of an amp. If I don't use a connector it will be hard wired, which is ok, but I move amps in and out more frequently than most.
Now who would do something as bone headed as that?
