If one or more capacitors were defective, the voltage across the inductor may have been less and that may be the reason that the inductor is now operating at a higher temperature.
Thanks Perry for teaching me 🙂🙂
so can you confirm me please i'm right when i say that the value of the capcitors is 25.7µF and other have lower value? so the 25.7µF is deffective?
A friend tell me "because i haven't scope to do the test" to mesure the voltage across each capacitors "before, i must know the normal voltage in the part of the circuit"?? and if the voltage across the capacitor is under the normal voltage it may be possible that the capacitor is defective
Can you confirm me that Perry?
But to do this test, i must unmount the pcb board on its heatsink 😕
so can i use a resistor of 3.8ohms 25W to reduce the current and do all my test without risk?
Thanks Perry 🙂

**** A multimeter doesn't provide enough information to tell you if the capacitor is defective. The ESR, dielectric absorption and leakage are also important. Most electrolytics have a wide tolerance range. ±20% is common. For a 22uF cap, the value could be between 17.6 and 26.4 and be within tolerance.

**** A leaking capacitor (leaking electrically) can drag the voltage down between two points in a circuit. It's possible that the capacitors began to leak (electrically) which caused them to pass more current than they should have which could have made them overheat and vent (blown vents on top of the cap). To determine if they were defective with a scope, you would have needed to view the signal on the output of the amp (with and without driving high power into a speaker). If the capacitor was defective, there would have been excessive high frequency ripple on the output.

**** There's no way to eliminate risk. You could have a bank of FETs rated to handle 500 amps of current and without a heatsink, it would be possible to destroy them even with a resistor in series with them. It takes very little power dissipation to significantly increase the temperature of the FETs to the point of failure.
**** If the amp is operating properly, I wouldn't be too concerned until the temperature reached approximately 100C.

Hello 🙂
the sinus live seems work for a time
but now the supply do a strange noise when i power on the amp😕
the problem happen after 2 seconds the amp is on.
I can hear a hissing from the supply, i think it's the ci tl494C 😕
and the sound seems grow up before the ci blow but the amp work and the fuse don't fail "i put a 10a fuse to protect it" and if i put a resistor of 3 ohms 25W in series with the B+ the amp don't power up and two leds stay power on and the supply do a strange noise😱
I fear that something explodes 🙁
can someone explain me that please?
Thanks 🙂

Is the protection LED illuminated?
Does twisting the output inductor make a difference? You may have to apply quite a bit of force.

Hello Perry 🙂
No the protected is not illuminated.
sorry but i don't understand what you say 😱
do you suggest that i remove the output inductor?
and for
"You may have to apply quite a bit of force"?
do you think the power supply of 13.8 v 12A isn't good to power up the amp?
sorry but my bad english is the problem 😱
Thanks Perry

Don't remove the inductor. Grab the inductor and twist it hard. These inductors tend to short where the windings overlap. Sometimes, twisting it temporarily breaks the short and allows the amp to power up normally. If that happens, the inductor will have to be rewound or replaced.
Force means physical force, not electromotive force.

Thanks Perry
but can i do that when the amp in power on or i must do that when the amp is off?
but it's strange because the noise comes the IC tl494c and I noticed a smell of hot near this IC

i remove the pcb board and remount it and the problem disappears 😕
but before doing that
i do what you say and the noise seems little and don't grow up than before.
do you think it's the output inductor?
the pop noise come again 😡
it's seems that the pop noise appear only for the first power on and after no problem 😕

I don't know what the problem is. Intermittent problems are difficult to troubleshoot. You could try applying pressure to various points on the board to see if you can make the fault get better worse. That may help narrow the problem down if the fault is due to an intermittent connection.
thanks 🙂
I just try to repair it just for my hobby but it's not verry important if i can't repair it because i will buy a new amplifier 🙂
