Hi all I wonder how many old 5501 Decca jeeps are still in use on 136 khz, they are such a big heap, and require odd ball voltages. It is so easy to build a compact custom designed class D/E FET ampl
Many thanks to Andy, Warren and Mal for their helpful info. It certainly looks like I have a shorted turn. I will start by trying to dismantle the existing pot core, but I am not optimistic. Warren's
Any large modern SMPSU core will cope with 1kW of sinusoidal 137kHz Just make sure B is kept below ~0.1 Tesla using the equation to determine teh minumum number of turns V(rms) = 4.44.F.N.A.B F Hz, N
Don't worry about trying to replicate inductance values or even worry about it tahy don't matter, and probably vary all over the place with temperature. High u ferrites aren't reknowned for temp stab
Mike The info that I sent yesterday for transformer windings are those specified by Decca for that particular transformer on that core. mal/g3kev Many thanks to Andy, Warren and Mal for their helpful
Output transformer info. Faulty output transformer. Strip old transformer windings and rewind as follows. Prim 3 x 6 turns Sec 31 turns or use large LOPT 3C material with same amount of turns as abov
