I searched but couldn't find anything on: There's a reason... Using 2 transformers �running the primary of one right off the mains running the other transformer primary in series �with a large motor run capacitor to phase shift the primary 90 degrees. You won't get 90 degrees phase shift because there's a resistive component involved. And as the resistive component changes, the phase shift will change, Rectify and filter both secondaries OK Diode "OR" the rectified filtered outputs. You don't need to do that, the rectifier circuits do it for you. This would give me better than double the frequency No, it wouldn't. At best it would give you double the ripple frequency. As the phase shift would overlap the 120 cycle pulsating DC. At best, the pulses of the phase-shifted rectifier would be in the valleys between the pulses of the non-phase-shifted rectifier. So you'd get twice as many pulses - no more. What you propose doesn't offer any real advantage over a conventional single-phase supply. But it offers a lot of disadvantages such as requiring more than twice as many parts. The phase-shifted supply will have poor regulation and won't carry its share of the load. Basicly I have 2 Eico 751 power supplies. I like to beef up the supply to my Eico 753. The best way to do that is to replace the old diodes and filter caps with modern ones. The 751 power supply is more than adequate to power the 753 if it's in good shape. If your Eico 753 drifts, it's not the power supply. They all drift, so much so that they became known as the "Seven-Drifty-Three" in their time. Another option if you can't leave well enough alone is to interconnect the power supplies so that one supply runs the low B+, bias and heaters, while the other one provides just the high B+ As K7ITM says, run some simulations and you'll see the reality. 73 de Jim, N2EY. |
