Re: EZ81 - series resistor - first cap in CLCLC filters
Hi Pierre,
* Yes please put a resistor in place as per data sheet advice as this will limit surge/peak current and extend the life of the tube cathode
* I'd use 47uF if I was just using a C filter or

Re: EZ81 - series resistor - first cap in CLCLC filters
Pierre,
Mullard specifies a maximum capacitor value of 50uF, and a minimum 230R limiting resistance in series with each anode (which includes the winding resistance). Bear in mind that this is

EZ81 - series resistor - first cap in CLCLC filters
Dear All
I'm going to do my first PSU... tnx for this amazing tool that is PSUD. I am implementing a PSU for an high quality line stage. The load on the PSU will not be more than 40ma and the final

Re: Max vac on xfmr sec.
Missed note.? ?My new? 0-60 vdc @ 10 amp current limited labs supply? ?will not go down to 0 vdc.? ? It will? only go as low as .8 vdc which resulted in 7.2 amps? ?.8 / 7.2 = .11111 ohms?

Re: Max vac on xfmr sec.
It may help to short the other winding to suppress inductive spikes from meter auto-ranging and general digital sin.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the detailed information - it's really handy. Pretty much everything looks good in the foregoing, except the primary resistance - that's the one that's jumping out at me.

Hi Jim,
PSUD3 has been out in Beta already but suspended as it still needs a little more work, there's no set date for the next release. I can confirm there is no plans to do three phase and the

Re: Max vac on xfmr sec.
When is? PSUD-3? ? coming out ?? ? Will? it? do 3 phase power ?
What would be helpful is being able to look at the harmonics, like for P-P ripple.? ?On? single phase, ripple is? 2F.? ?

Hi Jim,
The good news is it's easy to put on, the bad news is that it will need a whole sequence of tests to be carried out before the software can be up-versioned and re-released. Given that PSUD2

Re: Max vac on xfmr sec.
Everything scales. Pretend 1.0KVAC. Instead of 0.5Amp current, draw 0.05Amp. Result will be 1.414KV which you multiply by 10 to get actual voltage. R and C and %ripple values will be unchanged.

Can the max vac on the sec of the plate xfmr be increased...... like up to 15 kvac ?
As is, it's maxed at 10 kvac. ( aprx? 14.14 kvdc? ?with a? FWB and? C input filter).

Re: Can't Load Any PSU
Back up! Thanks.
I also deleted all the PSUD registry data as I had some Beta 3 entries.
NOT recommended for everyone UNLESS you REALLY know what you are doing.

If you're getting the fullwave solid state diagram as above then PSUD2 is initialising and then failing at the point at which it tries to load the default PSU which is located (typically)
