      XPost: sci.electronics, design       From: cd@notformail.com              Returning to this Marconi signal generator which has a lot of ripple       on the (linear) PSU output, I managed to get probes through a barely       accessible crevice and get a couple of screen shots of the rectifier       outputs I'm seeing on the scope.        So there's mains incoming which goes into a toroidal transformer and       thence to the rectifiers. There are two secondary windings on the       transformer and they each get their own bridge rectifier. This is the       waveform that's being applied to the storage caps of the PSU (which       I've disonnected for testing purposes).       The outputs of neither rectifier look at all correct to me. What does       the Panel make of them?                     https://disk.yandex.com/i/CP8qRMy-QA-fCg       https://disk.yandex.com/i/ubNazf1pFhuNtg              (probes are on 10x and I did compensate them first)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
