AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD
I just wanted to drop the 48V to 24V? The other supplies would be +/- 12V. I would use a 24VCT transformer?

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD
OK easy one. You will still need the voltage doubler to get 24vdc with this low of ac volts (12vac - 0v - 12vac). So just build the AC/DC standard do NOT do any mods EXCEPT short out the R7 47R 1W. Set to Doubler/Tripler to Doubler. Set voltage rails to +/-12v and 24v and your done.soliton wrote:I just wanted to drop the 48V to 24V? The other supplies would be +/- 12V.

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD
Hello everybody,
I have just finished my first diy preamp VP312DI, and the powerstation, but I have a problem.
The 317 regulator of +16v is very hot and the doa of vp312di to, exactly the transistor in +16v.
It happen only when the module is connected.
I have a 160v 2x24v 3.2A each. With the tester it mesures perfectly each rail with the module disconect( +-16,+-24,+48v )
Maybe ists a problem in the module.
Your products and builds are great,
Thanks

If the power supply supplies the correct rail volts unloaded and loaded it is working correctly.Piscolabis wrote:Hello everybody,

The problem has to be in the 312 module or wiring to the 312 module or the DOA on that module.

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD
Joe,
I am considering using a power station to provide + / - 15V DC (max 200ma each), and +5V DC (200ma max) to power up a AD converter evaluation board.
With a 15 - 0 - 15 transformer (I plugged in 18V in the calculator) the heatsink calculations are: 15V rails - about 45 C/W each, 5V - about 23 C/W, total - about 14 C/W
Do you think it will be adequate to bolt the regulators to the side of a 1RU case, or a strip of aluminium? Other suggestions?
Thanks! Paul

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD
Yes these high C/W ratings mean that very little heatsinking is needed. Short out C1 and C2 to disable the 48v doubler as shown under the AC/DC pcb (Note 3) so it can be used for the 5v rail easily. The side of the case or strip of aluminium will be perfect.prhunt wrote:Joe,

Wiring queston
Hi!
I have a question regarding wiring of transformer, main switch, jlm acdc and power switch.
Now, I'm wandering how to wire these correctly.
Is this ok:
Wiring primaries to mains/fuse in series
Wiring secondaries in parallel, connecting
- to ac/dc 0V (one or two terminals)
+ to switch (both cables)
Switch to ac/dc ac1
Then for the led, acdc
+ to led
- to GRMP2 -in
Led to +in
0 to 0in
48V to 48V in
Then regulate voltage for reading after led (so +V would typical be +26V from acdc, if possible..)
Or are there better ways of doing this?
Or, no no?
Thanks!
Geir

- I have a transformer like this
http://www.selectronic.fr/transformateu ... ier-1.html
Pri: 115V + 115V
Sec: 24V + 24V - a standard switch (like used for gobetween)
- an jlm acdc
- and a led, standard 2v drop

Please send me a clear photo of the top of the actual transformer you have with the wires straightened out so I can read the top label clearly and draw on the photo to show you how to wire it for 230v and 48v centre tapped for the AC/DC kit. The power LED can just be wired across the +24vdc with a 4k7 series resistor or the +48v rail with a 10k series resistor.

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD
Hey Joe!
I'll the 48v rail on the powerstation die a horrible death if it is used to power unbalanced microphones?
Or is this only a problem if the unbalanced microphone grounds pin 3 on the xlr?

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD
Since the 48v should only ever be wired to pin 2 and pin 3 of a input XLR via two 6k8 resistors the 48v rail will not care either way.Sammas wrote:Hey Joe!

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD
Hi, I'm looking to power 48V to 8 go betweens. And also powering ten dingos with gar2520 for balancing, unbalancing. Will the power station handle this ? What size power transformer ? 2 x 18V secondaries 25VA ? Or 50VA? I'm in Canada so 120V mains.
Thanks,
Dave
