Simplistic mosFET HV Shunt Regs

260-265V will suffice as minimum DC input to the 250V reg. 35mA will be enough for 16mA max load consumption. Make it 40mA if you can, its a bit better. CLC pre filtering and a good C2 or bypass, replacing the trimmer with a low ppm resistor after finding the value, a good C3 or bypass, a low ppm non inductive 120K Rref, short cabling to the load, that is about it.

😕😀
I have used 2 x 242k Beyschlag PROFFESIONAL MBE0414 1W 50ppm with good results
But you have to buy a lot of them to find the same final rev after triming
 
300V operation

Hi,

prior to my post of bad sounding Salas regulator, I had mistake in wiring, now it sounds very good. Anyway, my output target voltage is 300V. Is it ok to use schematics with MJE350 or should I go for schematics designed for more than 300V with 2N6520?

Thanks.
 
Salas uses 2N6520, Quanghao uses MJE350 for all Vout changing some resistors values on his pcb, so if you intended to use Salas schematic I will put 2N6520 & if you will use Quanghao pcb you can use MJE350.

MJE350
VCBO 300V
VCEO 300V

2N6520
VCBO 350V
VCEO 350V

heat on Q3

finished the positive part of my dual 300V supply for Exstata. Its P2p. 🙂

The heatsinks are a bit small (the ones for exstata's PSU), so the tempereture on the heatsinks stabilized after 15 minutes.
For irf9610 to 50 C, and for irf840 to 80C 😱

(A bit high i guess. Adding bigger heatsinks is a problem in my chassis design, so i will add a fan. For test i just put up a 12'' PC-fan, and the tempereture fell to only 40 C 🙂

I also measured the V-out during warmup, and there was quite a nice linear correlation between V-out and tempereture of (the heatsink of) irf840. V-out raised roughly 0,5V per degree C. Is that normal??
