I Would like to design a power supply. My design requirements are 2000 watts of power with serious circut protection and at least a 50% overcapcity tolerance.. I am a bit lost as to where to begin. I have a very basic understanding of how they work and some basic EE knowledge but selecting the right topology as well as the math involved seems a bit daunting.
I need 100v +- for rail voltages and a 12 volt supply at roughly 2 amps to leave enough head room for any preamp add on's
as I understand it a full bridge topology may be the best topology to use but I haven't seen many good article describing how to build such an aniimal and alot of the article seem to be a bit over my head so to speak.
I would almost gladly purchase a premade product for this useage to save the aggervation and my relative inexperience at engineering complex electrical products also prove duanting. . I would also gladly compensate a compotent engineer to do the design to save me the exspense of burning up lots of parts.
So that being siad where do I begin on this journey of oddly simplistic complexity ??

Music Amplifaction long duration and I would like to see tight control. It will be a full range application but I will be splitting the outputs into a bi-amp layout. I plan on using a good deal of capcitance to help with low tone reproduction but It will require a very good power supply to avoid clipping.
As to the Quasi thread ?? I searched and did not see thread with the title of quasi outside of the solid state area but that was a power amp not a power supply. I have a power amp design that works I just need a good power supply.

there is little wrong with a transformer + rectifier + smoothing.Kramerguy said:Music Amplifaction long duration and I would like to see tight control. ........................... the title of quasi outside of the solid state area but that was a power amp not a power supply.

adjust the smoothing value to suit the required bass response and speaker impedance.
Transformer VA from 2kVA to 4kVA for 2kW output.
I am trying to save wieght. IT is a big concern with gigging the head to lug another 27+ lbs of transformer.
Also do you know anythign about this quasi thread ?

I am sorry I didn't mention that earlier. Dooohh.
