CLC vs LCLC: is there any advantages other...

[jarthel]

having a lower voltage across the 1st cap on LCLC and other differences as mentioned in the rectifier datasheet?

here's what i'm thinking

lclc:
xformer -> 5V4G/5U4GB -> 10H 200mA 87ohm-> 10uF -> 10H 200mA -87ohm > 100uF

clc:
xformer -> 5V4G/5U4GB -> 10uF -> 10H 200mA 87ohm -> 100uF


the B+ after the 100uF will be regulated using a design found in the RCA designer's handbook (chap 33 fig 33.14).

thank you for the help

When a choke I/P filter (LCLC) is used, additional regulation circuitry is usually not needed. The O/P voltage of a choke I/P filter is quite stable, even as the draw varies.

Have you studied the theory of choke I/P filters? If not, READ. Don't forget to ensure that the critical current gets drawn. In the case of a 10 H. 1st inductor, place a high wattage rated 10 KOhm bleeder resistor across the 1st filter cap.

can you suggest what article to read?

also, someone from AA suggested a 220K-330K on the last cap. is he wrong? maybe it's applicable to clc only?

thanks for the reply.

NEETS (US Navy) stuff here.

NEETS has all sorts of basic electronics info.

Check Duncap Amps Power Supply Designer II.

Very helpful !
