To see such a low energy signal you have to choose the appropriate domain, the one in which it can be isolated. That of course is time.

Energy to support ringing can come from a narrow band of frequencies - either side . 5. The FFT spectrum (ie dozens of vertical lines) shows " bump" around the visible ringing frequency. 6. That "bump" goes away when the tranny is loaded . 7. Strangely there is NO new line for the actual frequency. So no frequency creation going on. ........... Phil |

When I first noticed the oscillation, it was with a dummy load on the bench with a scope probe. The customer has complained of exactly the same thing I have now demonstrated by connecting 100 ohms in series with 22nF on the output on the bench. I have spent quite a few unpaid hours trying to find a solution to this, whilst assuming the company has done all of this already and issued a mod to rectify the problem. I have other repairs that need my attention now, this is not a hobby of mine, though I appreciate the knowledge gained by this experience greatly. And the customer still hasn't got his unit back. |

I was scoping the ringing at the time, didn't have audio monitoring connected, and didn't notice that it was motorboating at a few Hz as I didn't want the unit to be oscillating like that for long. So this recreates the symptoms. Full blown oscillations of around 100kHz and 60v pk to pk dumps the power supply and it motorboats. This would explain motorboating into long cables. It's not related to the transformer ringing (except in that it also might be a consequence of crappy transformers). But when it motorboats, you see the it ring, because it rings. The ringing is at the same frequency. You have multiple serious design problems here. Send it back, get a real Pultec. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
