Re: Again a 7854 power supply beast to be repaired...
More. You can check diodes by making differential measurements across the diode. I found two bad power diodes this way. You can do this measurement while the unit is in tic mode. I found the diodes

Re: Again a 7854 power supply beast to be repaired...
You need a load of about 50W, possibly equally shared between positive and negative outputs. Either on the raw voltages or after the regulator board. You need to check all caps and diodes on the

Re: Again a 7854 power supply beast to be repaired...
Hi Max, Well, I didn't say that the load MUST be distributed. For me reasons to do so were that I could use available 5 W and 10 W resistors and that I wasn't always sure about the maximum current an

Re: Again a 7854 power supply beast to be repaired...
To G?ran: OK, shorted pin 13 to ground. Still same result: the SMPS refuses to starts and ticks herratically. I've checked the signal across A and K of Q30 (the PUT): it fires up every 20 msec (I

Re: Again a 7854 power supply beast to be repaired...
In the archive there is another document "7k_PS_currents" describing typical loads, also scanned by Zenith. In my case the total load was 50W. I connected a number of power resistors to the various LV

Re: Again a 7854 power supply beast to be repaired...
Hi Max, From my own experiments with a 7704A SMPS I remember that it needed a much heavier load for proper operation. I tried with loads on the HV outputs and also with loads on the raw rectified

In the archive there is a document scanned by Zenith, a specification 155-0067-02, pdf. For pin 13 there shall be two conditions: Logic "0": 0.0 - 0.05 V Logic "1": 0.85 - 10 V Well, if you dare you

Re: 577 Curve tracer ringing CRT and noisy step generator
The "filter on" position is useless except for very low sweep speeds or manual scanning - not normal operation. I found the same sort of thing when I was refurbishing the switches (Deoxit-treatment)

Following the Goran suggestion, I've shorted to ground pin 2 (FAULT SENSE). The behavior was the same: random burst interspersed with single pulses. Probing with an oscilloscope the pin 13 (Current

Re: 7S12 with S-4 and S-53 troubleshooting
Hi Nenad, I tend to disagree with your analysis. The feedback is not primarily intended to keep the base of Q36 at a constant DC level. Within limits Q36 doesn't care. The purpose is to have the
