Group: Elite Experimentalist Hero Member Posts: 4848	Do you mean on those MOSFETs? I will not use this PS for the kacher stuff anymore, and i am planning to quickly make some frontend protection to both PS output jacks by adding a choke and decoupling / filtering caps circuit. There is hardly any room inside (behind the front) to put something there, so it will be extern from the PS. Itsu

No, your MOSFETs do not have DC signals going through them.

I had these wires in mind:

Its a dual PS on which you can put both PS's in series, parallel, individual etc. so lots of control wires running all over the place which makes it sensitive for HF being picked up.

There should be enough space to put ferrite beads on these control wires and on internal auxiliary supply wires ...and even on the 50Hz AC wires.
The filtering for the main output terminals can be external.

Large output capacitance can hurt constant-current performance.

Group: Elite Experimentalist Hero Member Posts: 4848	Ok, i got you, there are some toroids around the bundled together wiring and some chokes visible on the board, but no beads as far as i can tell. But putting beads on all those soldered to board wires is practicle impossible, so i will leave it by protecting the frontend first.

Itsu,

Good that you managed repair it.
If you have a schematic, we could check it, may be it is possible to make some improvement, so it will be more stable.

Itsu,

I think you have 4093 chips installed into sockets, so take U10 out and pull TC signal (pins 10,12,13) to +12v (pin 14)
with 1k resistor. This should turn kacher into continuous mode.
Disconnect HV coil end from the base. Leave primary coil in place.
Transistor will act as a current source. Adjust current with R17 and if necessary with R16.

Vasik

I have moved the setup away from the bench / equipment and will use my old Owon scope / simple PS's to do measurements.

I was following the above:

"take U10 out and pull TC signal (pins 10,12,13) to +12v (pin 14) with 1k resistor. This should turn kacher into continuous mode.
Disconnect HV coil end from the base. Leave primary coil in place."

but it does not show any activity / pull current from the collector PS up till now......

Itsu,

Please check schematic, there were some changes, may be you need pull pins 10,12,13 to ground instead.
Q4 should be off, Q5 on.

Unfortunately the concealment of schematics, boardviews and replacement parts is spreading to other manufacturers like cancer.
Now even farm tractor manufacturers do it!

So stopping using Apple's et al, products does not solve the problem when all of them start making repairs difficult or impossible....unless you are willing to forsake using prebuilt technology entirely.

P.S.
Of course neither Rossmann nor I use Apple products, already.

Q4 should be off, Q5 on.

Vasik

With pins 10,12,13 to +12V, i have 0V on gate Q4, +15V on gate Q5, 0V on base transistor and 12V steady on collector transistor.

So it seems Q4 is off and Q5 on, but no current pulled from the collector PS.

What is suppose to happen? Should we have some base signal activating the transistor pulling a steady 100-200mA?

+15v on gate of Q5 means that it is off.
Q5 is P-channel MOSFET
When Q5 is on, R16,R17 supposed to give some offset on base Q6

Group: Elite Experimentalist Hero Member Posts: 4848	Q5 is an IRF4905 (P-channel), but its gate is hardwired to +15V via R15, only to be pulled down by Q3. But Q3 gate is 0V, its drain +15V, so no activating of Q5 Itsu

Group: Elite Experimentalist Hero Member Posts: 4848	Yes, there is a mix up with Pin 1 / 7 of the IR2110 there i think. No pulses as we have hardwired the U10 chip to +12V (meaning IR2110 pin 12 to 12V, and IR2110 pin 10 to 0V (via U5). IR2110 pin 2,11,13 are ground, pin 3 is +15V
