impact of the capacitors value increase

[Nounours18200]

Hi friends,

I refer to the Nelson Pass F5 power supply skematics:


Uploaded with ImageShack.us


On my F5, I plan to increase the total µF value, from 60.000µF per channel up to 90.000µF channel, i.e I will have 6 capacitors instead of 4 as represented on the diagram (C3, C4, C7, C8).

I would like to know if this may require a change in the R5, R6, R7, R8 resistors value ?

Tks

Hi, No. The CRC R voltage drop will remain the same with the same load current. rgds, sreten.

Just make sure your Bridge Rectifier will be able to cope with the surge current at turn ON.

My Aleph 4 uses 100000uF per rail (x4), I use a 35A 200V Bridge / Per Rail without any surge suppression.

The price of good bridge rectifiers is such that I always just get the most hardy model. Its really hard to do anything bad to a 50A 1000V bridge

OK, that is what I thought... My bridges are two 68A 600V (each), so I have no fear they can undertake the job in a F5 !...

I have more concerns regarding the same job in my future Aleph -J-X monoblocks, but I have plenty of time to design a proper setup...

By the way, I know that it is not the appropriate topic, but if some of you has a complete skematics of the last version of the Aleph -J-X (not the J version and not the X version) please PM me: I have found a topic but with more than 1,000 pages it is a nightmare to find what we need...
