Mr Evil's Capacitance Multiplier Power Supply PCB

Hi Pete,

I have assembled a new CP using the parts you listed below except I used MUR860G for the diodes. For some reason, I can't seem to get it to adjust the voltage. Are there some resistor changes that need to be made as well?

Thanks, Terry
Not as far as I know, but if you suspect that kind of problem, try it at a lower voltage using your Variac to adjust the line voltage.
 
Terry,
Did you ever get this figured out.? i have 2 CP that won't adj. either although i used all orig. parts except 15K caps for C1 & C2.

Terry,
Thank You, that would be a big help. :D
I am running +- 43.7 at the fuse.The first 3 i built came up & adj. with no load. This last one & my etched version of his Single Layer won't adj.

Hi Rick,

Here is a schematic with the voltages I read with the PSU set to +-43.6 at the fuses and the output set to approximately +-43.2 with no load on it. Hope this helps.
