SOURCE: PS36K power supply overload problem

Most of Pyramid's supplies are based on the LM723 voltage regulator. The DATASHEET should tell you most of what you'll need to know to repair it. THIS is the schematic diagram.

If the output voltage drives the voltmeter to the end of the scale, it likely has one or more shorted power transistors.

SOURCE: ps 52 kx power supply will not hold load

thank you for your help . I have already fixed the power supply I double checked the transisters and found three bad so I replaced all the power transisters and it is fine . thanks again bob

SOURCE: 20-Volt DC Power Supply instead of 12-Volt amp

Here's a few things that come to mind. An auto charging system will operate normally from about 11 Volts to about 14.5 Volts, depending on what is operating (lights, blower,etc), and whether the vehicle is at idle or not. Most car amps will operate from about 10.5 to 16.5 Volts, and outside that range, they will probably shut down.
Another consideration is your 20 volt power supply. You didn't mention if it is a DC power supply, but it needs to be. The other factor is its output, meaning its amperage rating. I'm figuring it will need to put about 5 amps, at the least, for the Sony to put out some watts. I think the line fuses of the Sony are rated @ 25 amps each.
I don't like this type of situation, because I want to say 'try it and see what happens" and I want to say 'don't do it, something may blow".
If you decide to try the 20Volt power supply, maybe if you put smaller rated fuses (say 10 amp) in the Sony amp, they will act as a fail safe. Good luck!

How to make regulated power supply

The easiest way to do this is to use a 3 pin regulator IC.
For a 5 volt supply go to this WEB site,

For a variable voltage power supply go to this WEB site.

While riding the bike shuts down like when you turn off the ignition, it lasts just seconds and comes back to life..

Hi There,
9 out of 10 times it is loose battery terminals, corroded terminals. - Clean and tighten.

TEST:
Test your volatge regulator by attaching a voltmeter to you battery:
With bike off battery meter should read 12.50 +/- .25 volts - anything lower-battery needs charge
With Bike on at idle meter should read 12.80 +/- .25 volts - anything lower-voltage regulator bad
Rev to 2000 rpm meter should read 13.75 - 14.80 volts - anything lower-voltage regulator bad

Before replacing the voltage regualtor make sure the groung wire from the voltage regulator is tight and recheck with the meter.

Check your ignition wire screws, one may have vibrated loose. - Inspect / check for tightness
Check that wires connected to coil are tight .

Most of the time its just a loose connection. Find and tighten.

Sir, while ago i sent a message to you regarding my 1202-vlz3 mixer (mackie) i to know how much the secondary voltage supply ?? thanks and god bless

The schematics don't show this, however reverse engineering this there are two windings... one is for the phantom power of 48 VDC... this winding needs to provide about 55 to 60 volts DC to the 48 volt regulator. EXPECT around 40 to 50 volts AC on this winding to the full wave bridge of D1,2,3,8.

The +/- 16 volt power regulated by LM317 and LM337 regulators will likely require about 20 volts DC into the regulators. It will be less than 25 volts because there is a 25 volt cap filtering.

Given a 20 volt DC from the diodes D5,6 and diodes D4,7 the transformer will be around 15 VAC either side of the centertap.

A minimum would be 12.5 VAC and say 18 VAC either side of center.

You should see near pure DC across C1 and C2 with only a little ripple of 2 volts MAX. The ripple should be 120 Hz. An oscilloscope is your friend in this area !!!

Lambda ews600-18 voltage goes down.

there is a short circuit protection and overoad protection to smps so o/p capacitor may short or secondary diode may short .so check voltage at primary when switched off after 33seconds whether switching process is going or not for that check dc volt at i/p capacitor then check volt at collector of transistor if metr shows 1digit then switching is going if not then meter shows full dc volt check component near about that

Printer will not turn on. power supply voltages

You should verify that your voltmeter is reading correctly. Check it against an fresh flashlight cell--it should read about 1.56 to nearly 1.6 volts. You apparently don't have an overload problem. Usually, only one voltage is the reference voltage for the voltage regulator (+5 volt?). It is entirely possible that the two supplies have a common failure. Make sure they have not been set for 220 volt AC supply.

Output and power transformers specs

What??? There is NO output transformer for the Mg50DFX. The outputs are direct driven from hybrid stick TDA type solid state amp chips.

The power transformet is probably about 100 watt size and supplies two voltages... one that feeds a +/- 15 volt three terminal regulators... Probably 22 volts +/- to the regualtors and the other supply will be unregulated to the power amp chips.

Hello, I have a pyramid power supply(PS-52KX), that recently started with a overvoltage problem. I run a Galaxy DX94 HP 10 meter transceiver, and just recently, when I key up the radio, the...

I'm not sure what you mean by 'wide open voltage'. If it's over 17v, the supply may have multiple problems. I don't have the 52kx schematic but other Pyramid supplies have over-voltage protection. There is an SCR that is triggered when the voltage gets to ~17v. This should clamp the output and trigger a shutdown. You should check the 16v Zener diode and the SCR. If the SCR or the Zener is defective, that would prevent the over-voltage from clamping the voltage. Also confirm that the SCR has a solid connection to the ground terminal of the supply. If it's open, that could prevent the clamp from shutting down the supply.

If the voltage is going high, measure the DC voltage from pin 4 to pin 5 of the LM723. It should remain the same at all times. Also measure the voltage from pin 5 to the ground terminal of the supply. That should also remain constant at all times.
