Mga sir..newbie lng po ako d2..nagkaproblema po kc assemble ko na westrak..nsa 10 volts ac lang po lumalabas sa speaker out nya khit nakatodo n ung volume then ung 1 volts po ung DC out nya kpg my signal tumataas po DC out..kc ung fren ko nsa 40 volts mahigt po..Yung be bias voltage nya eh .3 volts po?patulong nmn po mga sir..kung paano ang tamang procedure sa biasing.maraming salamt po..

Yes sir, meron trimmer dun sa diffrential input nya dalawa..ginaya ko ung set up ng trimmer dito rin sa forum yung isa nakaharap sa capacitor,yng isa nakaharap din sa transistor..kpag hawakan ko ung input at nakatapak ako sa ground nsa 10 vots ac lng ung output nya..supply ko is +-70volts..pero 8 ampere lng transformer ko 50-0-50 sir.

;D ;D ;D pde mo rin i fix yan ;D
work on lower rails lets say 50-0-50VDC
then papalit palit ng values sa input stage hanggang ma dali mo.

ganyan ka ba magtesting? wala kang dummy load at signal generator? hindi tama yang nakatapak sa ground pagtesting......

kung wala namang umuusok sa ampli mo pag power up malamang tama ang gawa mo......

anyway, unang testing ng amp kung walang umuusok ay yung voltage offset testing, ang critera dito +-100millivots, kung pasado yung  output mo, ang susunod na testing ay yung output trannie idle current.....sinusukat ito sa voltage drop sa emitter resistor, let us say gumamit ka ng 0.33ohm/5watt resistor, so sa 50mA na idle current, dapat me masukat kang 16.5 mV, check mo bawat trannie, kung meron kang 4 pairs of output trannies, gagawa ka ng 8 measurements para makasiguro kang gumagana yung output trannie mo....

kalimutan mo na yung Vbe voltage, wlang sinabi yon....

A decision must be made here between having an idle current for the output trannies or none at all.
Driver trannies should be always biased to Class AB. Vbe multiplier circuit here already needs at most 1.4 volts at collector to emitter of bias tranny.
Now here is my look at this, operating the output tranny at true class B, no idle current or quiescent current, ensures you that the amp will give good results up to 10khz.
Westrak amp is rated at high power intended most for subwoofer application up to mid, up to 3khz, so what's the use of having an idle current for the output trannies?
Look at Sakura amps, they don't use trimmers for adjusting quiescent current, and their vbe multiplier are set only to bias the drivers, a little for the output trannies that would not give even a small amount of voltage to their emitter resistors.
Also at high volume settings, and as trannies gets hotter, higher frequencies will be more acceptable.

dyan ako nag monitor ng boltahe sa emitter resistor at dyan ko rin nalalaman kung sobra ang conduction ng mga output tranny,nag babagu rin ang boltahe sa emitter resistor depende sa input ng amp sir.
merung voltage drop sa resistor ganun din sa transistor.

pa ot: sa pamamagitan nito ng pag monitor ko sa emitter resistor ng melody amp ko naagapan ko na di masibak ang mga output tranny sir.napansin ko na di na naglalaro ang boltahe at itoy naka fix na kahit isara ko ang volume,na dapat din itong bumalik sa setting ko na .25mV.

Mga sir help naman sa westrak na ginagawa ko. Yung piyesa na ginamit ay yung update ni jbmobile, sa bias circuit ay tinanggal ko yung 1.5K resistor. Yung trimpot na ginamit ko sa bias circuit ay 2K. Bakit po pumapalo ng full deflection yung meter ng tester pag sinisukat ko ang idle current. Dapat po bang nakakabit ang output tranny pag susukatin ang idle current? Ano po kaya ang sira nito?

Ppano ba ang ginawa mo? saan ka ba nagsukat?

Tinanggal ko yung positive fuse at yung neg. ng tester ay ikinabit ko sa V+ ng board at yung positive ng tester ay sa V+ ng power supply. Set ko sa .25A yung tester ko. Pumapalo ng full yung meter ng tester.

dapat po sa emitter resistor sir magsukat para sa bias adjustment,yung mga trimmer dapat magkaparehas ang setting para balanse,malalaman naman po ito sa output ng amp.dito ka magsukat ng dc offset na dapat hindi lalagpas sa -/+100mV.

Tama nman yan.
nangyari lang na mataas ang idle current mo.
Adjust mo yung trimmer para bumaba, minimum na mabasa mo.
Kailangan tlaga nakakabit ang output tranny, yun kasing conduction nya ang tinitingnan mo.
Be sure muna na tumutugtog na yung amp mo.
Ginagawa kasi yang test na yan pag medyo warm na yung amp dahil tumugtog na. Pag nag-adjust ka dapat wala na ring signal.

Ibang paraan ay measure mo yung voltage drop sa emitter resistor ng output tranny. Yung mga nasa 0.33ohms/5watts, measure mo yung voltage drop rito, dapat mababa lang, kasing baba ng pwedeng ibaba. Mga range ng 10mV to 50mV.

OK sir, now ikinabit ko ang 1 pair of tranny at 46V supply. Gagawin ko yung turo mo na sa voltage drop susukat.

instead na tester, magseries ka ng 10ohm 1/2w na resistor, kung mg mali sa wiring mo, uusok yung resistor pero hindi naman maninibak ng output.....pwede mo ring masukat ang idle current accross that resistor...in case na umusok yung resistor, balikan mo yung circuit at tignan kung saan ka nagkamali......

pag hindi na umuusok, saka ka magsukat ng output offset voltage at output idle current...

Also at high volume settings, and as trannies gets hotter, higher frequencies will be more acceptable.

no output idle current means classB good for PA work, but for hifi, it wouldn't do.....you need to minimize cross-over distortion by having the output operate classAB, the drivers operate classA, the output trannies at classB so that makes it a classAB....

reason for Sakura not having bias adjustments is that they have pre-determined the values before, so given the trannies they use, they already know what resistors to put in, this can be done....if you do not want trimpots, you can once you have adjusted your idle current replace that trimpot with the nearest standard value resistor...

in some Japanese amps i have repaired in the past, they either have resistors in series and with jumpers across each resistor, they just snip off the appropriate jumper to get the biasing range required....others have resistors wired in parallel, they just cut-off resistors to get within the range...

bias adjustments are done in consideration with the heatsinks used in your amp, if you have skimpy heatsinks bias your amps lightly, if you have good heavy heatsinks like that from Conrad Engineering, then you can bias your output more aggressively....

distortion decreases with more bias but thermal stability is the risk....so it is really up to you once you have your amp up and runnning...

Thanks sir tony sa tip na information na binibigay mo sa amin. Gagawin ko yung turo mo. Pero bago ako nag test ng idle current ay gumamit ako ng test bulb 100W in replace sa ac fuse. Power on the unit ay umilaw ng maliwanag yung bulb at hindi namamatay ang ilaw meaning may mali sa circuit. Tama po ba ang analysis ko?

Dapat may umusok kung may deperensya dahil wala ka nman yatang bulb sa negative rail eh.
Yung technique mo ay ginagamit sa pagdetect ng sirang HOT sa tv.
Pero with a high bias amp, iilaw din yan.
