±50V SMPS for Quasar Amps (& others)

Hi,
project is .. films with as many episodes😀
2 +2 turn are not suficient for regulate + /-15Vout.
PCB is dangerous not have the proper clearances on High Voltage area.
Pout can not exceed 600W (with FAN) for 2 ch audio amplifier🙂
I'm sorry for all those who are mounting... without help.

Sorry to hear that.
Spacing on PCB I think you are right, but not sure.

Dont know about those two turns, but I think it wont deliver that power without proper heatsinks, and a FAN.

Have you assembled that SMPS? show pictures

HARD Switching SMPS heats a lot, its normal.

What about voltage drop?

What load you are using?

Hi,
I have seen on this thread perhaps first PCB. ... this is absurd, pad on high voltage capacitor is 0.3mm!, at switch-on is clear that explodes.
This means that the person who developed PCB, ON has no knowledge of SMPS, this is tragic! endangers people.

Which exactly capacitor you mean? I will check it at home.

I suggest that we give Tibi or Geani some more time to post the specification of the output transformer. But I need it urgently, please 🙁.
PS: it seems to me that windings for +/-15V should be more like 2x4 turns but I'm only guessing.

Hi,
this is pcb post at first page (this thread).
4 +4 turns I think are good ( produces 23-24V on regulators (+ / -15V)

I would like to know if the specific problem mentioned have been properly dealt with, please
About better and more secure solder pads on supply caps, right ?

Man, I once had a 20mm spark jump, just because of a loose screw on a supply cap
 
Hi Tinitus,
do not know the complete schematic and not even the latest release of PCBs.
But first pcb public in this thread, puts people at risk.
I would like to know more too.
invite TVICOL, a public full documentation, (if this is public)
 
@AP2, you are refering to the first version of the board. People here are building V2. You can see it on the photos on page 7 or 8 of this thread.

@Tibi,

please don't do it 😡. I'm asking for a specification of all windings (including pins and turns) and you give only the last one - without pins.
As I mentioned previously, the photos on page 8 do not clarify anything since even the first photo (1-st part primary) shows the winding between 6 and 11 pins (if I count them correctly). It's completely different on the schematic. Other photos are too dark to clearly identify the pins. I wanted to order the transformer today but I cannot do it without proper specification.
The simplest way to provide such a specification is to create it in this form:
pin x, y -> pin z, w - primary winding (part 1) - N turns,
and so on ...

Is it a problem?
Another question: is the +/-15V widing also done with a litz wire?

n two weeks you've implemented your knowledge ... good!
I can see the schematic last rev. ?

PCB on first thread post was designed two years ago.
Full documentation including schematic will be available to public. Anyhow more info can be seen on vicol-audio.ro site.

On other hand I see that you develop power supplies http://www.audiopower.it/
You may wish to share with diy community your knowledge and share schematic and documentation. 🙂

yes, my job is to develop many things, but I have no commercial interest, I am in R & D.
in another thread I talked about my product (simlpe PSU), just to understand that it is not easy to build a PSU for audio amplifier. building is simple to turn lamps.🙂
 
Thanks,

Photos will be OK, but why can't you just present the information in a simple table here? Like this:
1st half primary, pin x -> pin y, 12 turns,
1st half secondary (1), pin x -> pin y, 9 turns,
2nd half secondary (1), pin x -> pin y, 9 turns,
2nd half primary, pin x -> pin y, 12 turns,
1st half secondary (2), pin x -> pin y, 4 turns,
2nd half secondary (2), pin x -> pin y, 4 turns.

All you have to do is to put proper numbers instead of x and y variables. Is it a problem or these pins are secret? 😀 . I need this information today. Email me if this is a secret.

I can Agree with you, that Vicol must supply such details in a paper, that INDICATES exact winding process, wire size, winding order, Each winding = how many volts (so you can get the voltage you need).

There are lot of details missing, specialy for new SMPS developers.

I agree
