Share my methods to repair/build a discrete power amp
Blowing up the power devices is a one of the most trouble.This thread I post is my experiences to prevent/troublshoot this problem in pratice.Wish you can see what I say(sorry for my poor English) and get the helpful infos
Note: My methods are mainly for the bjt power amp of NFB,but you may apply it (or its parts) for other SS amps(FET AMP,pre-amp...etc)
1)Seperate the power devices from the circuit and 'protect' them
This method I use is for the 'big' or complicated trouble(for example,the amp had blew up the power devices)
look at the picture below
The pic show the diagram of the bjt power amp of NFB.Q1,Q2 are the power transistors.The key of my method is keeping the NFB active,while disconnect the power transistors.if you don't do that,you can not check correctly the front circuit.
The mothod of keeping the NFB active is soldering two resister(300ohms to 1000ohms,1/4 w or 1/2 w) which between B1 and Vout,B2 and Vout.
After disconnect the power devices and keep the NFB active,you can easily troubleshoot the front circuit,liking a SS pre-amp.
When you finish the troubleshoot of the front circuit,you should confirm the Vbias voltage is not fault before re-connecting the power devices.....if you are still suspicious of the front cicuit,you maybe apply the method below of 5) to continue.
2)troubleshoot the front circuit
the front circuit (dual rail PS) which work have two obvious marks
a.the DC voltage of Vbias is below 100MV in general.
b.The Vbias voltage is in the correct range.
The list of the below pic is my estimate of the correct Vbias voltage range,just for hint,not for roference....If your amp trouble on there,the Vias voltage will abviously out of this in general.
I apply the next methods of 3) and 4) to check/troubleshoot the front circuit including input,VAS,drive...etc.
3)check on-board
This method is in the turn-off state and isn't precision,but can be easily (and safely!) to check the BJTs,Diodes(even resister),then mostly find the bad component.
The tool of check is an analog multimeter(not DMM.I think the people which have much experiences mostly like to use it for troubleshoot in my country).a majority of analog multimeter have 1.5V battery for the Ohm functions(and "high" voltage battery for the max Ohm function),but I would recommend the analog multimeter which have 3V battery for that,because it will show the check-on-board result more clearer and can check the LED,darlington tr,even triac(with another multimeter).
This method maybe a bit complicated....let's go step by step
a.the LV scale of analog multimeter
look at the picture below
The LV scale indicates the drop-Voltage between the two terminals of check on the Ohm function.(some Chinese analog multimeter have this scale)
Because the LV scale is line.when the multimeter set the Ohm funtion(X1,X10,X100,X1000 in general,I mostly set on X10 in practice) ),the full-scale is 3V(the precision vale is the actual Voltage of inner battery),the indicator at centre show 1.5V....the indicator at start show 0V.
(to be continued)
