900W H-class PA Amp with Limiter

STEP 1:
A = 4.5 inch = 11.43 cm;
H = 3 inch = 7.62 cm.

STEP 2:
Then calculate the coefficient a = A / 6 = 1.9 cm.

STEP 3:
After step 2 is calculated active section of the core:
- first: b = 2 *a = 3,8 cm;
- second: S = b * H = 3,8 * 7.62 = 28.95 cmp (square centimeters).

STEP 4:
Now calculate the apparent power of the transformer (primary winding):
P1 = S * S = 28.95*28.95 = ~850VA.
Efficiency of such a transformer is about e=85%. In this case secondary power will be:
P2 = P1*(e/100) = 0.85*850 = 722.5VA.

STEP 5:
Knowing secondary electrical transformer voltages we can determine secondary winding current value using the following formula:
I2 = P2 / U2.
For example, you have two DC voltage of 100V (filtered with capacitors). Now, I refer to a symmetrical voltage of + / - 100Vdc, this means 200Vdc. The secondary voltage will be effective:
Vs = 0.707 * 200 = 141.4 VAC.
In this example, the secondary winding current will be maximum:
Is = P2 / Vs = 5.1 A.
So, if those 141.4 VAC are given by two voltages of about 70V each then current calculated above will be given by each winding.

I hope you understand me and I hope I was helpful.
thank u very much sir.....
 
hi apex sir,
here is h900.
supply dc votage is 100-50-0-50-100. sound is excellent.
one question , without load i increase the volume ,and i see the clipping led is blink, but i checked the out with dmm ,ac voltage is 26vac. is there any mistakes from me.
thanks.

one question for tony, can u tell me what is the exact ampere of this transformer.
40 into 4 transformer,
core size is 40mm by 79mm.
thanks

Nice work. DMM can measure only 50Hz sine wave ac voltage, you need scope for ac measurements.
Regards
 
question about resistors getting hot

Dear Sir Apex,

Just I want to ask if it is normal that these resistors with the red arrows are getting really hot.
2.2k 2 watts very hot
22k 1 watt very hot
3.3k 1 watt very hot
6.8k very very hot, it is like you will get burn if you touch it with in 1 0r 2 seconds
but the sound is very clear with good bass and treble, I'm using a full range Jamo S606 tower speakers for sound test.

the supply voltage are: 112 - 56 - 0 - 56 - 112 Volts DC from 40 40 0 40 40 Volts AC

This resistors must be hot, it's normal don't touch it :)
