Salas SSLV1.3 UltraBiB shunt regulator

hi salas,
i measured again, it will be around 20cm, so longer than i predicted.
how thick should the cables be? or should i better change the setup to get shorter length?
and do you twist all cables from and to the psu? (sorry for the really beginner question 😉
thanks, kind regards!
 
Nearer to 10cm length would be better if you can rearrange enough. Use AWG 14 or about so.
AC cables to PSU you twist, DC ones out of the PSU you don't need to twist. They don't create radiating fields. Just tie them together per output pair for maintaining a narrow loop area.
 
I seem to have populated a board with green LEDs. I know (think) this will give a higher voltage reference? By 0.4v or so.

Are they ok or should I swap in red ones. I thought I remember seeing someone populate neg rail green and pos rail red but maybe that was another thread!
 
30V is AC. Measured at the input of the Ubib. C1 is 35V DC.

Pulled all the remaining Qs and Js. Q2 was good as were all the rest, except for Q3 which was bad.

Total so far- M1 and Q3 went bad, the rest were good. I'll add them back in with a new Q3 and see how it goes.
 
Hello Salas!

I am new to diyaudio.com and have yet to master electronics or circuit design.
Nevertheless, I wanted to build an external PSU unit with two different voltage outputs of 24v and 12v at a maximum of 0.5A for each output.

Is this design suitable for my needs?
If yes, I would also like to inquire about ordering the boards.

Thank you beforehand!
 
Hello,

Yes, it's suitable. The board includes two positive sections and one negative, so one board will cover your plan

All essential info about this design and its practical application is concentrated in post #1

Boards and key components are ordered from time to time in a group buy organized by member Tea-Bag

You could PM him for availability
 
Thanks Salas.... has made the srpp 2sk79 quieter than ever. Sorry for cutting the rectifier circuit because my case does not fit.

Hi,

I just finished the BA-3 preamp with Salas SSLV1.3 UltraBiB shunt regulator.
This combo is mind-blowing, the best preamp I ever built/had.
Big thanks to Salas for this excellent project.

I would like to test this regulator with my other system.
I need to get +-12 volts but I have only 2x 22V trafo at this moment.

Can drop almost 18V at regulators - standby current 40mA and the peak 200mA (peak for max 5 seconds every few minutes)?
I have plenty of heatsink.
