Is it wise to have no fuses? How do you made the design safe then? You could of course have the fuses on the amplifier boards instead.
The bleeders become rather hot if the discharge time should be rather short. I would not place hot resistors under the board.

Hi P-A,
Please make sure that the holes for the diodes on the PCB are large enough to accommodate the TO-247 leads. Those legs are thick!
Found heatsinks that approximate the footprint of AAVID THERMALLOY - 6100BG locally but are 90 mm tall! 😱
So I'm going to the wiki in a while to revise my requirement to 4. 😀

The diode part is checked (I have real diodes in my junk box) but I will also make a prototype board before I order the big batch. I would never dare to order 100-200 boards unless I'm very very sure.
Heatsinks comes normally in 1, 1.5 and 2" height.

Thanks P-A. But the heatsinks are really 90 mm tall!

Dou you have any examples of thicker leads than normal? My TO247 is "normal". I know that for example TO220 devices from IXYS has very thick leads compared to normal TO220.housing said:Please make sure that the holes for the diodes on the PCB are large enough to accommodate the TO-247 leads.

My TO-247's in hand, physical measurement :
IR HFA50PA60C, 3 lead device, 1.5mm
IXYS DSEI60-02A, 2 lead device, 1.5mm
IR HFA50PA60C, 3 lead device, 1.5mm
IXYS DSEI60-02A, 2 lead device, 1.5mm

I prefer not to have fuses in the rails at all. Safety is taken care of with the primary fuse.

Fair enough, but Dale power resistors could be used clamped to the chassis if needed. I usually build high bias amps and have no need for bleeders at all.
My concern is board shape/size vs chassis size. I find it difficult to keep a symetrical layout of the chassis and at the same time compact with a bord shaped like your proposal.
For me it would be better to have a long slim board (12-13" x 4") with transformer connectors and rectifiers in the middle, capacitors and output connectors on each end. That way the board could sit close to the front plate and transformer(s) close to the rear.
(Actually similar to two of BrianGT/PD miniA PSU boards end to end)

No, according to my inaccurate caliper, the thicknesses are:
IR HFA50PA60C, 0.8 mm
IXYS DSEI60-02A, 0.7 mm
😀
and that will cook your speaker if the mains current does not blow the mains fuse, when the output goes to one rail.SvErD said:I prefer not to have fuses in the rails at all. Safety is taken care of with the primary fuse.

Find a way to make the PCB much smaller.
Hi,
To save space, maybe consider something like this:

Hi P-A,
You've got mail.
Thanks.
