Power supply 18waat a

18Watt Audio Amplifier Power Supply
Power supply parts:
 
R9___2K2 1/4W Resistor
C7,C8___4700µF 25V Electrolytic Capacitors
D2___100V 4A Diode bridge
D3___5mm. Red LED
T1___220V Primary, 15 + 15V Secondary, 50VA Mains transformer
PL1___Male Mains plug
SW1___SPST Mains switch
Notes:
  • Can be directly connected to CD players, tuners and tape recorders.
  • Do not exceed 23 + 23V supply.
  • Q3 and Q4 must be mounted on heatsink.
  • D1 must be in thermal contact with Q1.
  • Quiescent current (best measured with an Avo-meter in series with Q3 Emitter) is not critical.
  • Adjust R3 to read a current between 20 to 30 mA with no input signal.
  • To facilitate quiescent current setting add R8 (optional).
  • A correct grounding is very important to eliminate hum and ground loops. Connect to the same point the ground sides of J1, P1, C2, C3 & C4. Connect C6 to the output ground.
  • Then connect separately the input and output grounds to the power supply ground.
