Hi!

Welcome to my DIY audio forum. The forum SW has been reset and unfortunately there were some problems with backup files so a few posts were lost, nothing important though.

I'll suggest that you try with 120 ohm or something. This would create 100 mA.

If the regulator works you should have a voltage drop of a few millivolts only and the voltage at pin 2 and 3 on the opamp should be within 1-2 mV, and that is 6.25V if the output voltage is 12.5 V.

Well, I don't know how much current can I draw before voltage drops. What would be the best way to actually measure this (variable CCS, resistor, ... )?. Thanks.

How much current are you able to take out before you'll get a voltage drop?

I'll recommend that you connect to the unregulated voltage in order to avoid unnecessary heat in the voltage regulator. Adjust the resistor value so the light is enough.

Power supplies / Voltage drop on SSR01 under lo...

Per Anders,

I have installed a +12V SSR01 regulator to power up a DDDAC board. At no load, the regulator provides 12.3V but when the DAC board is connected, the output voltage from the regulator drops to 2.5V.

I was wondering if other users have already faced this issue, and how to solve it. Thanks for any input you could provide!

Operation conditions are as follows:
On the SSR01 board, both J1 and J2 are bridged.
The DAC board should be drawing around 100mA.
Input voltage is 30VDC
There is a large heatsink over the LM317
Upfront DC regulation is done with a LC circuit (diode bridge, 17H in series, 100uF polypro in parallel)

Power supplies / SSR01 - substitute H1 with zen...
Last post by tk-don - March 10, 2019, 09:38:51 PM
Hi,

I'm building a 7V SSR01 using a 9V AC supply, which when rectified and accounting for losses should give nearly 12V output, which should be ok with the SSR01 with AD825 I hope.
The PCB will be partly visible through a perforated cardboard inside an old tube radio, and would like avoid any shining LEDs if possible.

Would it thus be possible just to use a 2.4V zener diode instead of H1, and just leave R3 at 2.2k? Or is the base current of the BC556B negatively affected by this (as I-V characteristics of zeners and LEDs are not the same)
Or would it be possible to even use a 3.3V zener like used as DZ1, possibly lowering the value of R3?

heaveno P-A!

I have been enjoying my QRV-08 for a long time now but I still have not finished enclosure installation with power LED.  I have been afraid of damaging something if I mess up the LED wiring. I understand very little electronics and would not be able troubleshoot if I cause a problem.

I understand how to measure the LEDs I have and calculate the required resistor, however I have not found a specific location on the PCB that I like for the connection.

My friend Keith connected a 1000 ohm resistor to the + side of G31 but I am not comfortable with this location. it is 25V which requires a larger resistor (1500 ohm 2 Watts) and the way I have G31 soldered I have very little space.

Is there a spot you could suggest that would provide 15V and possible is a through the board hole that would be easier to make a good and safe connection.

Thank you P-A I appreciate your help.

Which power supply doesn't work?

Ok, the power supply is not working when i cut the four lines. Where do I go from here?

I'll suggest that you try to get a working power supply first. Then you'll have to cut four traces, the power lines to each amp.
