Dear All,
I have a question with this design for PS The input is 320 V AC and the out put is 400V DC I am wondering why Resistor #5 (68K 3W) always very hot? Can some one give me some clue? tks |

what is the dissipation of that Resistor #5 (68K 3W)? in my case, i use that 3 watt to dissipate less than 1 watt...

Does it actually work at all? I really don't see how you could subject an LM317 to these voltages. How could you send AC straight through a 10mH inductor? What happens if you put 100uF straight over AC? Where does the DC come from? Etc.

That was my initial thought, too, vac. But he has a rectifier box there on the AC input. I don't understand the zener bypass, or the pot wiper to nowhere, or...
so best for me to leave it alone.

Sofaspud,thanks, had overlooked it. And you are also right about your last point.

the zener could be a 27volt one, together with the mje13005 ensures that the vin-vout rating of the lm317 is never exceeded....

Sure. I should've realized. Thanks, Tony.

LM 317 adjust pin is 1.25 V below output V. R5 dissipates about 2.35 W = (400-1.25)^2/68000.
The 5k pot is much too large. For 400 V out you need about 213 Ohms there, so you will be using only 4% of the pot, voltage adjustment will be way too sensitive. |
