Re: Ranger solid-state rectifiers
|
Hello ?? What WE do, in our Ranger overhaul/rebuild process is: build a rectifier network into a gutted 6AX5, ( so the result will plug into the OEM LV rectifier socket) AND we add a solid state +300V buss regulator into the system so we don't care that the resulting LV B+ is a few volts higher than OEM.
? That is what WE do.
?? From our perspective, the under-chassis heat in a Ranger from that HV dropping resistor/bleeder/ chassis heater and other dropping resistors deserves to go away in as careful a manner as possible, so adding more heat seems , to us, unnecessary. ( YMMV).
Thank You !!!

Any Ranger owners out there who have replaced the rectifier tubes with silicon diodes?? If so, did you use dropping resistors to get the voltage back in the original range and if so, what resistance values did you use?
?
Please - I just want to know the answer to that and don't need responses as to why that's a terrible idea.? I know what the voltage drop across the tubes should be and know how to size the resistors, but the question is: what did YOU find to be good?? Thanks.
