Need help to repair two phase 400 amps

[LarryD]

Ok pic's coming. Sorry just saw it.

Put your meter on 200 ohms resistance scale...

 

[laatsch55]

We don't want the amp ON for these, and discharge the caps...

 

[laatsch55]

This is how you check the power supply caps------ http://forums.phxaudiotape.com/showthread.php/2356-Forming-Phase-Linear-Power-Supply-Bulk-Capacitors

Lee, is that a pl14 board?

 

[laatsch55]

Sure is....

 

[LarryD]

Nice Thanks. That will not be for awhile it would seems. Lee. I am beginning to think I may have jumped in to soon. And the reason I say that is because I have to burden you with things I should already know. And what makes it a bitch is the little time I have available to go and read up on everything. There is no doubt that I want to learn, And I may be a bit slow but learn I will in time. So what is your take on helping me? It has to be somewhat of a burden on you to help someone as green as I am. If you want to call it off until I have time to learn a bit more so to help in the process Let me know ok? I don't want to burden anyone.

 

[LarryD]

WTH, Did I just modify that post?

 

[laatsch55]

Not a burden, if I don't have time I don't post...

 

[LarryD]

The caps are out of the amp. My meter is set.

 

[LarryD]

Ok, but please let me know if it gets to be to much! LOL!

 

[laatsch55]

Oh, I will....

 

[LarryD]

Ok my friend, I got to get back to wrenching. hopefully we can continue later.

 

[laatsch55]

No reason we can't.....

Larry - if Phoenix can put up with me you're a piece of cake. Trust me!

Cool, Thanks Lee

Thanks Nav, I just feel kinda bad causing extra work. It's not like they are getting paid. But then again I am sure they will be rewarded down the road for the good deeds. I should have done some reading and got a little of the basics out of the way. I jumped in to soon!

Some put their toe in the water and others just jump in. Jumping in is OK - it just takes a bit to get calibrated. Make sure those caps aren't loaded and try not to let the smoke out - you'll eventually get there.

Ok Lee, here is what I came up with.


10.7 10.9 10.9 10.9
------------------------------

1657 1664 1645 1641
reversed leads
1672 1664 1640 1634
------------------------------
.4 .4 .4 .4
.4 .4 .4 .4

x .4 x .4

Take a pic of the component that is giving you those 1600 readings.
