6C41C in a PSU regulator?

[athos56]

These tubes were used for regulation, however, I cannot find any examples of how to use them in a PSU. Any help with how you would set these up to regulate a supply for a SE amp would be appreciated. Would you use them like a 6AS7 and the likes? I decided I really don't need to build another amp but I have 2 of these tubes hanging around I figured I'd use them for something....

hehe

googled with Cyrilic ......

that tube is pretty much as half of 6S33S (6C33C or Babooshka)

just type 6C41C in google image search and you'll find plenty of info , for both tubes .

Give me a little credit

I did google the 6c41c tube type. Lots of amp schematics, nothing on using it as a regulator...

Same with the 6s33s....

Even adding regulator to the search has no positive effect.

Thus the reason for this post

well , you must start somewhere ;

good place : http://www.pmillett.com

read .

then ask here what you need

Give me some credit II

I've spent days looking at that site, its great.

Anybody use 6C41C's as they were intended?

from memory it's quite similar to both sections of a 6080/6AS7 paralleled.. so you should be more or less able to use it in one of their circuits.

shoot me with email , and I'll send you one thorough tutorial for series voltage reg .

it's for another tube , certainly ..........

Will do! Thanks

PS, I was trying to be dismissive of your earlier posts, I was just looking for very specific information, i.e. a schematic to follow and adapt to my uses...

If to say properly, Тзат тюб из притти!

If to do properly, some IRFPG60 would be much prettier for the application. However, with some orange LED added to glow.

Do you want a schemo?

athos56,
I have an ampl . 6C41C & EF861. Output tube has Ri=apr. 200-300 ohms,
depend of Ia, and very great sound!
My old version is with preampl.6П15П /russian/, on the foto. Ra output transf = 1,5 kohms, Ia=130 ma.

If You interest, I will send a schematic.

Wow! How long do you build your stereo amps?

That 6E1P with no getter flash looks very cool!

Am I right in assuming that the max plate rating of 300v on the 6C41C would limit its use as the pass element in a tube regulator to aplications under 300v?

 

[Colt45]

nah, just the raw B+ minus the reg voltage must be under 300v.. that's the part it actually passes..

so 550V raw B+ and 300V reg'd output would be ok.



but..
checking data sheet - says Va = 450v max, 600v on a cold tube / turn on, not 300v.

Vhk is 300v though, so you may need a seperate fil winding, if output is >300v

 

[athos56]

Ahhh, thats helpful, I found two separate voltages for that 300 and 450v. I'm reading about series and shunt reg's now. Would I use the other 6C41C as the error amp or pick a different tube?

 

[athos56]

Something like this....

If I could use a D3a for the pentode and 6C41C for the triode, I could build something like this from parts I have laying around....
