Valvehead, you can stick your Miniwatter WTSDS, any time :clown:

CTC Blow-me-Torch
(If ya had gone for a fet/bjt shunt element instead of darlingading you could have shacked with Ernie-B)


hehe

darling sandy gives ya more stability - in case when you gona stick wire from shunty not to Pumpie , but WTSDS .......... even if in that case - you don't need stability

seriously - tested with - load/no load condition , frying eggs on shunt element , Lieutenant Darling is better than Black FetAdder

me just thinkin' - mebbe Baldrick will be best solution for Shunt duty ......

:rofl:
 
Having problem deciphering last posts, I don't know if this thread is the right one.😀

Maître Jacques says : If you halve value of before-reg- caps you should twice the value of dedicated Rs.
So if C15, C16 is 1000u so R21, R23, must be 10R?

Maître Zen says let it unchanged (sorry if I not recall right)?

What should Mallarmé do?


Mebbe my Pumpking Ashanti will play music this WE
Hehe.

if you use plain metal film , for which I never know - are they 0W25 , or 0W4 - then put 2E2 , not 4E7 as in schematic and parts list ............ whatever amount of uF you have in first caps .

if you use plain carbons , you can leave 0W25 jobies here , but do not increase them ........
 
Thanky,
I asked because I wan't to use 1000uF/100V for the first 2, because of higher voltage after Dagnall, then 2200uF/63V as in Schematic.
I didn't found anything else than carbon 4E7
Hope it is not isnogoud.

Hehe, me Tarzan very excited to soon playing Zique with pumpkin.

Manu,

i use two 18.7 Ohm resistors in parallel, soldered on both sides of the board.
And they are 0.6W metalfilm, total power handling 1.2 Watt.
Halving the electrolytic values halves the inrush loading, doubling the R values again halves it.
At a cost ; Twice the dissipation, Twice the voltage drop.

A major upside is the lower temperature of the resistors :
-by spreading the heat across two resistors
-by soldering the second one on the pcb bottom side
-because higher powered resistors have a lower temperature at the same load.

70mA through 18.7 Ohms is <0.1W dissipation, <1/6th of their max power capability.

1W metal film should be ok then... ...
