#1 PSU current tap.

Post by pre65 »

If my memory serves me right, on a choke input power supply a current tap after the choke keeps the PSU in choke input mode.

I think the resistor calculation was 0.9 X choke value in H = R in K ohms.

How would that apply to a low voltage high current choke ie 5 mH ?

In just the same way

Resistor = 9 * 0.005 = 45 Ohm

Mind the dissipation of course. But why do you need it? wont the amp be pulling a constant current?

Thanks Nick.

Just getting a handle on things.
