Power Supply Knowledge - Tech Talk At The Lab! 

When are we gonna do the restoration? Dear Paul

@@KetherWesak It's in que, lot's of other restorations ahead of this one.

@@MrCarlsonsLab please do a 3 hours restoration with lots of details hehehe cheers

Sometimes you need to speak a little slower. Your an excellent teacher with wonderful knowledge. More of it will be absorbed by the student if you maybe use fewer words at a slightly slower pace with less redundancy. I love your classes - keep it up.

You didn't got the point of that configuration. Using center tap for 6V is because of the current. In that configuration output windings of that transformer are in parallel and therefore voltage is half and current is doubled. And it's a poor design because those diodes should survive 4x bigger current.

Actually, there is: Having a nice cup of coffee AND a fat joint. Cheers^^.

Why does everyone drink poor Joe and fire at Will? 😜

Paul is VERY intelligent, creative, inspirational, helpful, and wise. None of us are perfect...but Paul comes "dang near it"!

@@waynethompson8416 , It is again interesting to hear what people think... and I must agree with the basic bell curve of intelligence which shows that the low end is WELL represented! LOL

Glad you're enjoying the content Ed! Thanks for your kind feedback.

Rocco Rizzo , Believe! LOL

Ah,the good old days in Flatbush.Gone are the good times.just like old repair shops like Stereo Warehouse.

:) for me it was a short bicycle ride to Edmund scientific back when they had a surplus outlet to paw thru.

Glad you enjoyed it!

and both ac and dc signatures. i bet its got a lot of ripple thus the caps trying to run something digital off it

@@richardcranium5839 If that was a guess, it was a very good one. I've scoped the output of mine and a lot of AC ripple is present ever with small loads.

@@rp5029 This underlines my reason for wanting a regulated supply. A series linear regulator greatly reduces the ripple on the output. For this cause, I do not like unregulated supplies, especially low voltage supplies.

Thank you for your kind words!

Actually reactor is an older term for a coil or inductor. Here are some older names that were used in the past and are not common now. Condenser = capacitor (note: condenser is still used to describe a refrigeration component), aerial = antenna, earth (British term) = ground (note: common is sometimes used also, but it may or may not be referenced to earth/ground). Cycles per Second (CPS) = Hertz, micro micro Farads (uuF) = picoFarad (pF, 10^-12), Amperes (the commonly used newer shorted term is Amps ) Ether = old word that was used to describe what we would call the ionosphere today. I'm sure there are others that I have forgotten. Mr. Carlson is a young guy who enjoys keeping electronics history alive... Thanks

You're very welcome!

Glad to help!

You are welcome!

i thought i saw you at the thanksgiving parade in n.y.c,,,drinking coffee,,,,,, only stag beer for me,,,,73,s kd5utu

20 amps. It can run all day at 10 amps.

I have a similar battery 🔋 charger from the 70s, it two was my father's, I believe it is a Schumacher, I still use it today to charge batteries.

My pleasure

I left a comment there, but too many stupid replies, so I deleted it. He needs to look into "The law of squares," and do some research into "Time Domain Reflectometry."

@@MrCarlsonsLab Thank your for your reply. Too bad you had to delete your comment. I wish he had reached out to you for your input on the topic because you are *thee* master when it comes to electronics. Looking forward to your next video and the restoration of this power supply when you get the chance.

@@MrCarlsonsLab alpha phoenix channel just got a scope after seeing that video. I mentioned w2aew but you could definitely add some wisdom there :) Sorry your comments drew the troll element.

Does that include "Liquid Electrical Tape?"

@@waynethompson8416 No, I actually have used that stuff. It is pretty useful sometimes and seems permanent. I don't think the hacks would even know about it.

Yes and the a/d converter seem flawless, the room is small and filled with objects, the neighborhood is rural. It's hard to find such noise-free audio on RU-vid

Lower Voltage, higher Current equals lower in the Henry's range.

@@MrCarlsonsLab Many thanks: I'm learning a great deal from your videos. Keep up the great work.

Regulation and current limiting in a power supply are like ordering a trim package on a car. It's still a car without the trim package.
