The output voltage of the proposed simple power supply is -13 ... 14 V. It is capable of delivering a current of 1 ... 1.5 A. The ripple level is no more than 10 mV. and the output resistance is -0.04 ... 0.07 Ohm. Figure 1 shows a stabilized rectifier circuit. The source of alternating voltage 12.6 V is a mains transformer that provides the necessary current in the secondary winding.

Power supply for CB radio

A feature of a stabilized rectifier is that. that even with a breakdown of the transistor VT1, it will not create a dangerous voltage for the radio station at the output. If this happens, then when transmitting, the radio station will not even leave the operating mode - only AC hum will appear in the signal. There is no need for any additional measures to protect against short circuits in the load circuit. In this case, the transistor VT1 will be closed and the current in the load will decrease to almost zero.

In the one shown in Fig. 2 diagram Ui, - the minimum collector-emitter voltage of the transistor VT1. at which it still retains its functions. In the formula for calculating the ripple voltage, the current is in amperes, the capacitance is in microfarads, and the voltage is in volts.

Power supply for CB radio

The transformer can be used unified, with a power of at least 30 watts. for example, TN36, TN46, etc. TN type transformers have two. three or four 6,3-volt windings, allowing both series and parallel connection. A possible circuit for switching on a four-winding transformer, designed to be powered from a 220/127 network, is shown in fig. 3.

Power supply for CB radio

Transistor VT1 must be installed on a heat sink with an area of ​​at least 70 cm2. For better thermal contact, it is recommended to introduce a heat-conducting paste under the transistor, for example, KPT-8.

Establishing the device comes down to setting the required output voltage with resistor R5.

The unit can also be used to power a radio station that consumes much more current in transmission mode. In this case, you should replace the transistor VT1 with KT825D. With an increase in the current consumption, it will, of course, be necessary to use a larger capacitor C1. Otherwise, the ripple on it will be excessive and the transistor VT1 will exit the stabilization mode.

With a significant increase in current, it will be necessary to apply a heat sink with a larger dissipation area and use a more powerful step-down transformer, for example. TN10 (load current up to 6 A) or TN11 (7.8 A). It may be necessary to replace silicon diodes VD1-VD4 with their rather large forward voltage drop Unp = 1 ... 1,2 V with germanium D3O3 (current up to 3 A), D304 (5 A) or D305 (10 A), in which Unppr \u0,25d 0,3 ... 2 V. or for diodes with a Schottky barrier: 2998D2 with indices B or C, 219D0,4G or others with Unp<XNUMX V.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of ​​controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog ​​owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>
