600 VOLTS POWER SUPPLY FOR QRO

Amateur Radio Transmitters using valves such as 807 or1625 works well with a plate
voltage between 600V to 700 Volts.The circuit described here is a full wave voltage
doubler. The output voltage is twice the input voltage. For 230V AC input the output will
be nearly 600 Volts.

Resister R1 is used to limit the initial high voltage and high currents. Capacitor C1, C2,
C3 together with coils L1 and L2 form input line filter. The capacitors C4 and C5 protects
diodes from high voltage transients on the AC line as well as reduces inter carrier hum
modulation of the R.F picked up by the mains. Capacitors C6 and C7 provides enough
filtering for the output DC Voltage.

C1, C2, C3 - 0.1 mf 630V


C4, C5 - 0.01 mf 630V
C6, C7 - 100 mf 450V
R1 - 10E 5W Wire Wound
R2, R3 - 220KE 2Watts
D1, D2 - BY127
D3, D4 - BY127
L1, L2 - 12 Turns 18 SWG
Wound over 4 Cm
long Ferrite Rode.
