500W PA amplifier with Limiter

Why 5A fuses for 2ohm speakers?

If the 5A fuses will pass 10Arms to the 2ohm load then maximum power is only 200W into 2r0 and that only needs +-35Vdc

Now if 20Arms were to pass to the load then maximum power would be 800W into 2r0. and that needs +-65Vdc

To get the benefit of your +-100Vdc supply rails the fuses would need to pass ~30Arms to the 2ohm speaker load. Giving ~1800W into 2r0.

Can your 5A fuses pass ~42Apk to the loading?

BTW,
6ohm speakers will run from F5A fuses.

Zosilòovaè 700W
Technical parameters:

Supply voltage: max. + /-80V

Current protection: 2x15 fast Fuses

Output: 680W/2R, 450W/4R, 260W/8R (measured 550VA transformer with voltage 2x54V empty)

Frequency response: 10 to 180 000Hz/-3dB

Harmonic distortion: 0.034% in 480W/1kHz; 0.07% at 480W/10kHz

Intermodulation distortion: 0.037% at 300W / 80 +7 kHz

Impedance: min. 2R

Speed ​​course (SR): 35V/us

Input sensitivity: about 1.1 V for full excitation

PCB dimension: 90x260 mm

Note: Measured performances are measured on a 550VA transformer as stated in the note. Output power is measured for max. 50-10 minutes because the transformer is considerably overloading. When properly sized to about 1 kVA transformer is not a problem to achieve performance 800W/2R.
 
37 is the AC voltage from the transformer when fed with rated input voltage and loaded to deliver exactly 15Aac.

The peak of a sinewave waveform is Vac*sqrt(2)
A 37 Vac transformer will have a peak output voltage of ~52.3Vpk when driven at rated voltage and loaded to rated current.
You cannot get 80Vac nor 80Vdc from your transformer.

However, if you series connect the secondary for 74Vac and increase the supply voltage you can get a single 80Vac, if you are careful to avoid overheating.

Sample 4 Channel APEX B500 and use bridge mode future.
