MOSFET Amplifier IRFP240/IRFP9240

This is my project apex hv23 . In the first test , it worked well for 15 minutes with average volume when the 5 amp fuse on PSU -7 was burned , the heat sink was lukewarm. Why , if the fuse goes to the transformer?. 45-0-45 v ac 450w. thanks

Optimal ClassAB requires ~26mVre at the outputs, when Tj is @ ~27°C (~300K).
And rises in direct proportion to K temperature, i.e. Tj=330K requires ~(26*1.1)mVre
But that includes the internal re of the transistor.
D.Self gives a lot of data on this.

Hello guys I don't think I ever gonna build this but it does look interesting, I almost completed :) yes I know is not practical just ideas "maybe too crazy" :rolleyes:

That's very nice. 1000w? If it gets checked out and approved by others around here I would like to build it. Hexfets are cheap. :)

What's the ps rail voltage? Maybe high enough we just need to rectify wall AC and add caps (save a ton on the lack of a trafo)? :rofl:

I simulated with 150V rails and I get before clipping 1600W I'm just having fun :D with this the correct rail value is 75V DC too dangerous to play with this rails voltages :rolleyes: but I have add two 330 resistors for the driver board :)

clipping indicator not working on simulation

hello guys

I have a little problem with the clipping indicator circuit seem not to work on simulation, does "PRO" need to be connected in order to clipping indicator to work? I'm attaching the multisim 14 file and PDF

I most then making a mistake for sure, but I'm not sure what it is :(

Regards
Juan

Hi Juan,
I think Mr. Miles is on holiday, when he comes back, i am sure he will reply.
