All works great. I think i've spotted a fake 1943 & 5200 . Sample 2sc2987 & 2sa1227

Hello Blantozaur,
Good to hear it works!! also with some pictures would be great....
Regards,
What i did:
- removed damaged amplifier section oryginal magnat 480
- mounted ba1000
- rewinded trafo up to +/- 40v at 14,4v 2x1x1.5
What i will do:
- sample output tranzistors to MJL in ba1000
- add subwoofer filters 20hz hpf and virable 30-100 lpf
- use amplifier protection circuit build in power supply
- add amplifier mute synchronizetd width power supply
- rewind trafo up to +/- 70v at 14,4v

I tried this circuit with mj15023 and 24. and as driver I used 2sc5200 ,I couldnt find 2sa5200. With doublle 60v testing there was an ossilation at the output. Have anybody an idea for dissolve..
So exactly how much power does this amp (B1000) produce at 8, 4 and 2 ohm?
Im trying to decide whether to build the B1000 or the 900H.
Thanks

Work it out from P = V² / Rload
The maximum V from a power amplifier must be less than {Vsupply Rail} / 1.5
eg.
supplies are +-80Vdc.
Maximum V < 80/1.5 < 53.3
Absolute maximum power is 53.3²/8 = 355W

Maximum V < 80/1.5 < 53.3
Absolute maximum power is 53.3²/8 = 355W
so having a power supply of +-110 for either amp I would get 1300watts at 4 ohm and 2600 watts at 2 ohm.
But the question is, are either of the amps capable of producing all that power?

I seem to remember Alex specced output on the safe side, and rated 8ohm and 4ohm power to be the same
so in my book you should probably calculate with less power in a 2ohm load

Assess the SOA capability of the output stage by using the relationship:
Maximum Output power is ~ Total output device power rating divided by 4.
This applies to normal ClassAB amplifiers.
The switched rail type are quite different.
I don't have a rule for them.
eg.
for classAB
using a 4pair output stage of 250W devices equates to total device power rating of 2000W.
Maximum power is ~ 500W.

mjl4281 is 230W
9pair is 4140W
At very high supply voltage I would aim for divide by 5. If they are to run hot as well then divide by 6.
But switched rail amplifiers do it differently.
That divide by 4, or 5, or 6 does not apply.

different duty requires different device parameters.
D3 & D4 should be small signal diodes, try 1n4148.
D2, D5 & D6 may be OK to leave as power diodes, 1n4002 or above.
D7 & D8 must be power diodes.
But the back emf and the resulting current coming from the speaker and it's crossover components cannot be that high, that 1n540x devices must be used.
I use 1n4003 or above here. But I don't drive 1kW speakers. Maybe the peak transient currents from really big speakers can exceed the short term peak capabilities of the 1n400x series.

ok, great, thanks
I might have a combination use for this amp
as bass guitar amp driving 18" woofer
and as a mono sub amp with EQ, driving the same woofer for hifi music
and it might do both at the same time, when I figure out how 😛
