Astron RS35m Power Supply Schematic
Detailed schematic of the Astron RS35m linear power supply with QST analysis notes.
Description
The Astron RS35m Power Supply Schematic provides a detailed circuit diagram for this popular linear power supply, focusing on the rectifier and pass transistor stages. It presents the AC input and DC output sections, illustrating the component layout and interconnections critical for understanding its operation.
The schematic is enhanced with specific annotations derived from the December 2005 QST "Hands-On Radio, Experiment #35 Power Supply Analysis." These notes offer insights into the circuit's functionality and potential analysis points, making the diagram more instructive than a bare schematic. The resource serves as a practical reference for hams interested in the internal workings or maintenance of the Astron RS35m unit.
This document specifically highlights the key components responsible for voltage regulation and current delivery.
