Description

The EB-503/238 dual PS is designed for 20-40W STEREO Class-A amplifiers. It contains two independent power supplies for the driver stage and the output stage, using HEXFRED and/or FRED diodes. The main electrolytics (22000uF or 47000uF) are not included on the board and not included in the kit. Be careful when installing/connecting the diodes/capacitors, wrong polarity can cause damages to your equipment.

The board also includes two independent timers, one for the slow-turn-on circuit (Q1) and an optional one for the output relay(s) on the driver boards. The mains transformer should be minimum 400VA for the 2x20W and 600VA for the 2x40W Class-A RIBBON amplifier. The timers need a separate 10VA mains transformer with a 12VAC secondary.

Testing

The EB-503/238 can be tested with artificial load or together with a RIBBON amplifier. It is strongly recommended to use a VARIAC for the testing. There is no set-up procedure for the power supplies. The timers don’t need any adjustment either; just observe that the relays/LEDs are operating after the delay given by R17/C28 and R19/C31 (approx. 10/20 sec.) If you need longer delays you can increase the value of the caps.
