Making car amplifier SMPS with tl494 + DC Protection

Fets won't fix toroid to sag, thin wire will make voltage drops where they shouldn't be,...

I have also 8 IRFz, and I can tell you if can be diffilculte to get power... I had 472w@ 12.04v, and output was lower then idle by a lot, but my is not regulated...as for core, well you can see for yourself

hi luka

very very nice work😱 😱

your project is similar to my.

How much power should provide in theory?

how voltage? and current?

and please, post here the schematic and the pcb?

thanks

ps


how do you put such great pictures?

bye bye
 
hey,

your wire will be the problem, also voltage sag od trafo, I see you do have it regulated, but you will have to see how much will it would hold up

My smps is +/-60v, will probably good up to 1kw, maybe less now, coz I have low freq., something like 23kHz only

I did test is with 12v on input terminal giving constant 472w. now, +/-60v I could get with 13v, at 13.8v or 14.4v it would have to be regulated a bit, just to keep voltage under control. I did test it with AMP2, driving 2 ohme load with on one channel and and playing music... secondary voltage staid always within 0.2v of original idle voltage, so I am very happy...hope to place it into my car one day..

And this is it, basic, my first experimental build
