Lightning Protection ELCB

Lightning Protection ELCB (CIRCUIT BREAKER Earth Leakage)
Installation of a building usually equipped with a safety short circuit current and current limiters. In the event of a short-circuit the safety fuse will break, and when the series occurred over the current-limiting load (MCB) will open the circuit so that circuit current flow to the inside of the building to be disconnected.




If it occurs in an electrical installation safety is a leakage current and current-limiting fuses can not provide security so that the power loss will occur continuously. Apart from that, if there are power users have a leakage current and untouched by humans, the safety will not be decided so that the electrical circuit is quite dangerous it would be safe if the installation is already installed grounding.
But when man-voltage electrical power users then all these safety devices can not be secured. For that installed a safety device, called an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker or ELCB. This tool is able to decide the relationship string of leakage current in the event of 30 MA in a time of 0.1 seconds. Leakage current is intended to be through electrical components in the normal state of no voltage or phase conductor directly touched by humans.

How it Works chain of ELCB
ELCB separate chain consists of a magnetic coil and switch. This switch can be manually controlled electric and magnetic fields. If the position of liaison ELCB switch is closed, then the source voltage will flow gets the load. Magnet coils which will open the circuit to work when there is an electric current flowing in the coil. Magnet coil circuit that will open, works when there is an electric current flowing in the coil. ELCB magnet coil also called z. Travo, which normally do not get the voltage. If there is leakage current is z. Travo will work to open the circuit by pulling the main chain of the switch should be set up in advance for reuse and so on.

Digital Bike Tachometer Wiring diagram Schematic

This is the simple tachometer for bikes uses 2 reed switches to urge the speed data of the bicycle. The reed switches are put in close to the rim of the wheel where permanent magnets pass by. The permanent magnets are connected to the wheelspokes and activate the reed switches everytime they pass by it. The speed is digitally displayed.

The tachometer schema works in step with this principle; the pulses created by the reed contacts are counted inside an explicit time interval. The ensuing count is then displayed and represents the speed of the bike. 2 4026 ICs are used to count the pulses, decode the counter and management 2 7-segment LED show. RS flip-flops U3 and U4 perform as anti-bounce.

Electronic bicycle SP tachometer schema diagram



The pulses arrive at the counter’s input through gate U7. The measuring amount is set by monostable multivibrator U5/U6 and might be adjusted through potentiometer P1 so the tacho are often calibrated. The schema U1/U2 resets the counters.

Since batteries are used to power the schema, its not sensible to support the continual show of speed data. This schema isnt continuously active. The schema is activated solely once a button is pressed. a minimum of 3 permanent magnets should be put in on the wheel. The schema are often calibrated with the assistance of another pre-calibrated tachometer.

Audio Controlled Mains Switch Wiring diagram Schematic

It is often useful for audio or video equipment to be switched off automatically after there has been no input signal for a while. The function of the on-off switch in such equipment is then taken over by switch S2 in the accompanying diagram. It remains, however, possible to  switch off manually by means of Si. Automatic  switch-off occurs after there has been no input  signal for about 2 minutes: this delay makes it possible for a new record or cassette to be placed in the  relevant machine.
 
The audio input to the proposed schema may be  taken from the output of the relevant TV set, amplifier, or whatever. The input earth is held at + 6 V  with respect to the schema earth by potential divider  Ri-R2-R3-R4. The two 741s function as comparators: the output of ICi goes high when the in- put signal is greater than + 50 mV, whereas the out- put of IC2 goes high when the input signal  becomes more negative than -50 mV. Resistors  R6, R7, and R8 form an OR gate that drives transistor Ti. If the output of either ICi or IC2 is logic  1, Ti conducts.

The 555  operates as a retrigger able monostable,  whose period is determined by Rio and Ci. The  device is triggered when its pin 2 is earthed by the  closing of S2. Its output, pin 3, then remains high  for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the leakage cur- rent of the 555. 

The monostable resets itself as soon  as the potential across Ci exceeds a certain value.  As long as there is an input signal to the schema, Ti conducts and Ci remains uncharged. As soon as  the audio signal ceases, Ti switches off, and Ci  charges until the potential across it is sufficient to  reset the 555. The monostable may also be reset by  closing Si, which connects pin 6 of the 555 to + 12 V.
 
Audio-Controlled-Mains-Switch


When IC3 is reset, Ci is discharged via its pin 7. Resistor Rrn serves as protection, because without it Ti could short-schema the supply lines. When the output of IC3 goes high, T2 conducts,  the relay is energized, and the relay contacts switch on the mains voltage as appropriate. To counter the induced potential when the relay contacts close, which could damage T2, diode Di has been connected in parallel with the relay coil.

Simple Switch Mode Voltage Regulator Wiring diagram Schematic

This is a Simple Switch-Mode Voltage Regulator Circuit Diagram. This Simple Switch-Mode Voltage Regulator Circuit Diagram power supplies offer the benefit of a much greater efficiency than obtainable with a traditional power supply. The Simple Switch-Mode Voltage Regulator Circuit Diagram presented here has an efficiency of around 85%. An input voltage of 12 to 16 Vdc is converted into a direct voltage of exactly 5 V. 

 Simple Switch-Mode Voltage Regulator Circuit Diagram

Simple



The use of a MAX638CPA enables the design and construction of the regulator to be kept fairly simple: only nine additional components are needed to complete the schema. Resistors RI and R2 are used to indicate when the battery voltage becomes low: as soon as the voltage on pin 3 becomes lower than 1.3 V, D1 lights. With values as shown for the potential divider, this corresponds to the supply voltage getting lower than about 6.5 V. 

The output of the IC is shunted by a simple LC filter formed by LI, C3 and D2. The oscillator on board the IC generates a clock frequency of around 65 kHz and drives the output transistor via two NOR gates. The built-in error detector, the `battery low` indicator or the voltage comparator can block the clock frequency, which causes the transistor to switch off. The IC compares the output voltage of 5 V with a built-in reference (FET). Depending on the load, the FET will be switched on for longer or shorter periods. The maximum current through the FET is 375 mA, which corresponds with a maximum output current of 80 mA.

Soft Start For Switching Power Supply

Switching power supply whose output voltage is appreciably lower than its input voltage has an interesting property: the current drawn by it is smaller than its output current. However, the input power (UI) is, of course, greater than the output power. There is another aspect that needs to be watched: when the input voltage at switch-on is too low, the regulator will tend to draw the full current. When the supply cannot cope with this, it fails or the fuse blows. It is, therefore, advisable to disable the regulator at switch-on (via the on/off input). until the relevant capacitor has been charged. When the regulator then starts to draw current, the charging current has already dropped to a level which does not overload the voltage source.

Circuit diagram:


Soft

Soft Start Circuit For Switching Power Supply

The schema in the diagram provides an output voltage of 5 V and is supplied by a 24 V source. The regulator need not be disabled until the capacitor is fully charged: when the potential across the capacitor has reached a level of half or more of the input voltage, all is well. This is why the zener diode in the diagram is rated at 15 V. Many regulators produced by National Semiconductor have an integral on/off switch, and this is used in the present schema. The input is intended for TTL signals, and usually consists of a transistor whose base is accessible externally. This means that a higher switching voltage may be applied via a series resistor: the value of this in the present schema is 22 kΩ. When the voltage across the capacitor reaches a level of about 17 V, transistor T1 comes on, whereupon the regulator is enabled.

Op Amp Regulator Wiring diagram Schematic

This is a simple Op Amp Regulator Circuit Diagram. This op amp offers a straightforward method of developing a single-polarity stable voltage source (see the figure). Transistor Ql gets a base drive through resistor Rl, and conducts to develop a voltage (Vi) across the IC`s supply pins. Amp Al, R2, and Ql form a positive-feedback closed loop, along with R3 and the zener diode. Al, R2, and Ql also form a negative-feedback closed loop with R4 and R5. 

 Op Amp Regulator Circuit Diagram


Op

The effect of positive feedback is predominant as the non-inverting input receives Vx while the inverting input receives only: This happens until the zener comes into play. When the voltage at the inverting input exceeds the voltage at the non-inverting input, Al`s output takes away Ql`s base current through R2, which reduces Vi. Hence, an equilibrium condition is reached. Now: This schema can source more than 30 mA.

How to Create 1000 Watt Power Amplifier

Power amplifier has up to 1000 Watt power, this circuit made one channel only so if you want to create a stereo in it must be made one again, actually this is more suitable power amplifier in use for Sound System or outdoor, so if only in use for the house I think is less suitable.
Maybe youve seen or even have an active speaker and there is written 1500 watts PMPO (Peak Music Power Output), make no mistake this is different from Power Amplifier Active Speaker, I often dismantle such Active Speaker in it only a power with power no more than 150 watts by using the transformer 2-3 Ampere. PMPO is not a real power which is issued by the Power Amplifier, but counting all the speakers that there is, for example: if there are 5 pieces of speakers on each channel and each speaker has a power of 10 W then it is 100 W PMPO.
1000W
1000W Power Amplifier schematics
1000W
Part List 1000W amplifier
While this 1000 Watt Power Amplifier minimal use transformer 20 Ampere. And the output of Power Amplifier DC voltage contains approximately 63 volts, with currents and voltages of this magnitude, this 1000 Watt Power Amplifier will not hesitate hesitate to destroy your woofer speakers to connect. To overcome that then before the speaker on connects to 1000 Watt Power Amplifier must be in pairs Speaker Protector.

Actually if you want to create a Power Amplifier with great power does not have to make a Power Amplifier with great power. Example: you want to create a Power Amplifier with 10 000 Watt power. You do not have to assemble a Power Amplifier with power of 10,000 watts, but you assemble the power Power Amplifier Small but many, such as you assemble the Power Amplifier with 1000 Watts of power for as many as 10 pieces, it will produce 10 000 Watt Power Amplifier helpless.

Circuit uses power transistors pair of 5 x 5 x 2SA1216 and 2SC2922 and 2SC1583 use a differential amplifier that actually contains 2 pieces of transistors that are in containers together. Why use such built-in amplifier differental tujuanya so identical / similar, could have uses 2 separate transistors but can result in amplifier so it is not symmetrical.

Tips combining speaker.

To get the speakers with great power combining techniques can be used in parallel series, combining each group of speakers should sepaker they will have the same impedance, the same type (Woofer, Mid Range or tweeter) and the same power. Number of merging these speakers should consists of 4 , 9, 16 ff, see picture
1000W
Speaker wiring


Example: The number of speakers have 4 pieces each of its 200 Watt power generated will be a speaker at = 200 x 4 = 800 Watt. If there are 9 speakers 200 W then the result = 9 x 200 W = 1800 Watt.

    Battery Charger for 12v SLA Project

    Before we go into the operation of the SLA Battery Charger schema, there are a number of points we need to cover about the care and use of Sealed Lead Acid batteries. The words Sealed Lead Acid covers a number of batteries that do not have a "filling hole."

    You cannot get to the electrolyte and the battery can be used in any position. This discussion also covers AGM batteries (Absorbed Glass Mats) that have a separator between the plates and the electrolytic is thick and will not spill.

    Another type: GEL CELL and FLOODED LEAD ACID all have the same or similar charging requirements and can be used with this charger because it is a low-current charger (about 300mA) and will not damage anything. It also has the feature of providing pulses to the battery when 13.4v is detected and this will eventually fully charge any battery and keep a it fully charged for months, and even years.

    Firstly, Sealed Lead Acid batteries must be charged, discharged and stored very carefully. We normally think batteries can be stored for months (if not years) and they will be available for immediate use. This is not the case with SLA batteries.

    If you store a NEW, full charged SLA battery for 6 months or more, you will find it may be fully discharged.
    You may also find you cannot charge it!!   It may be worthless. Thats how delicate SLA batteries are. They must be charged on a regular basis to prevent them discharging to a very low voltage level.

    If the terminal voltage of a SLA battery is allowed to go below 8v, a process called SULPHATION starts to cover the surface of the plates and prevents the battery being re-charged. The internal resistance of the battery increases and it becomes useless.


    HOW THE CIRCUIT WORKS


    The schema consists of 5 building blocks:

     The schema does not turn on until a battery is connected across the terminals as shown in the diagram. (A push switch has been provided to start the schema when a totally flat battery is fitted.) This action turns on the PNP transistor in the "Turn ON" block. The resistance between the collector-emitter terminals decreases and the indicator LED comes on.

    The path to the bottom rail of the schema goes through a signal diode, the gate-cathode junction of the SCR and through two 1R8 resistors in parallel. This is why the LED illuminates.

    MUST USE AC PLUG PACK
    Before we go any further, the schema works on an AC plug pack. It must be an AC supply as we do not want any electrolytics to be present on the power rail as this will allow a very high charge-current to flow and possibly damage the SCR. A DC supply will not allow the SCR to turn off, as it turns off when the current through it falls to zero.

    THE CIRCUIT IS A HALF-WAVE RECTIFIER!
    The schema is actually a half-wave rectifier. It only charges the battery on every half cycle. The plug pack doesnt like this as it leaves residual flux in the core of the transformer and causes it to overheat. But thats the only drawback with the schema.

    The SCR turns on during each half cycle and current flows into the battery. A voltage is developed across the two 1R8 resistors (in parallel) and this voltage is fed into the 47u electrolytic. It charges and turns on the BC547 transistor. The transistor robs the SCR of gate voltage and the SCR turns off. The energy in the 47u feeds into the transistor but after a short time it cannot keep the transistor turned on.

    The transistor turns off and the SCR switches on and delivers another pulse of current to the battery. As the battery charges, its voltage increases and this is monitored by the "Voltage Monitor" block. The schema is very complex and one way to look at the operation is to consider the top rail as a fixed rail and as the battery voltage increases, the rail connected to the negative terminal of the battery is pushed down.

    This lets you see how the "Turn On" transistor is activated and how the "Voltage Monitor" components create voltage drops across each of them. The "Voltage Monitor" components consist of a transistor and zener diode as well as an 8k2 resistor, the 1k pot, a 1k5 resistor, a 150R resistor and a signal diode. The signal diode is actually part of the flasher schema and we discuss its operation later.

    As the voltage across the battery increases to 13.4 volts, each resistor in the "voltage detecting network"  will have a voltage drop across it that corresponds to the resistance of the resistor. The diode will have a constant 0.7v across it. The voltage on the wiper of the pot will be about 3.25v and the voltage across the zener will be 10v. This leaves 0.6v between the base and emitter of the Voltage Monitor transistor.

    This voltage is sufficient to turn the transistor ON.
    When the Voltage Monitor transistor turns ON, it robs the "Turn On" transistor of base-emitter voltage and the schema turns off.

    The SCR has only two states: ON and OFF.
    During the half-cycle when it is turned on, the battery gets a high pulse of current and the current is only limited by the capability of the plug pack. There are no electrolytics to allow very high pulses of current to be delivered and this is fortunate as the SCR is only a 0.8 amp device, but will endure surges of 10amp for half a cycle.

    Whenever the SCR is triggered into conduction during the half cycle of its operation, it remains in conduction until the voltage delivered by the plug pack falls to zero. This is when the SCR turns off. When the plug pack delivers a negative voltage to the top rail and a positive voltage to the lowest rail, the SCR is not triggered into conduction and none of the components in the schema deliver current to the battery. The SCR delivers current for a few half-cycles and then it is turned off for a few cycles. This is how the average current delivered to the battery is controlled.

    The schema is designed to deliver about 300 - 400 mA average charge-current. The maximum value is determined by the 1R8 resistors. They do not allow any more than 900mA to flow during a half-cycle and if this current flows, the lower 47u is charged and the lower transistor turns on to prevent the SCR turning on.
    When the battery is fully charged, the indicator LED begins to flash.

    The flashing is produced by the 2k2 resistor and 47u (connected to the voltage monitor section). When the battery is charging, the 47u is charged via the diode connected to the BC557 transistor and through the 150R and signal diode to the negative of the battery.

    When the battery is fully charged, the Voltage Monitor section turns ON and turns off the "Turn ON" section.
    This removes the voltage on the positive side of the 47u and the positive side is brought to the negative rail via the 2k2 resistor. This brings down the negative side of the 47u and the 150R resistor is  allowed to drop below the negative rail due to the presence of the diode, as the diode becomes reverse-biased.

    This holds the schema in the "off" condition, as the voltage monitor section sees an extra voltage across it and thinks the battery it is "over-charged."



    The 47u discharges and the schema turns ON to pump a small burst of current into the battery to keep it charged. This is called "Trickle Mode"  or "Pulse Mode."


    HOW TO SET THE POT
    Charge a battery and when the voltage reaches 13.4v, adjust the pot so the LED flashes.


    DEAD BATTERIES
    The schema will not turn on if the voltage of the battery you are charging is less than 4 volts. If you have a good battery that has been totally discharged, you can manually start the charging process by connecting the battery and pressing the button. This will raise the voltage on each cell and the schema will take over in the normal way once the voltage rises more than 4 volts.

    SCR: MCR100     
    type - 6     400v
    current     0.8A
    Max current
    for half cycle     10A

    DONT WASTE YOUR TIME
    If you have a battery that does not charge, even after you have pressed the push button, dont waste your time. If it has been standing for more than 6 months in an uncharged state, it will not charge. This charger is ideal in determining if a battery is able to be charged.

    Just connect it to the charger and monitor the voltage across the battery. If it remains at less than 8v after 1 hour, the battery is scrap. You can easily test a battery by putting a 12v car globe across the terminals. Even a tail light globe will require a current of more than 1 amp to get it to glow and if the battery cannot deliver this current, it is DEAD.

    The only "dead" battery that can be recovered is one that has been connected to equipment and is totally exhausted. The equipment has exhausted the battery. If you charge it within a few weeks, the process of "sulphation" will not have damaged it and it can be fully charged. If the battery is "dead" due to standing for a long time, the chances of recovery are virtually nil.

    Sealed Batteries
    Sealed batteries have the acid either gelled or put into a sponge-like glass mat. They have the advantage/disadvantage of being completely liquid-tight. They can operate in any position, even sideways or upside down, and will not leak acid. Because the electrolyte moves more slowly, these batteries cannot tolerate high rates of charging or discharging for extended periods, although their thinner plates will allow high rates for a short time. Their sealed construction, which makes them ideal for some limited applications, makes it impossible to check individual cell conditions with a hydrometer. Although these cells are "sealed," they do have vents to prevent pressure build-up in case of gassing. Many PV charge controls will push charging voltage too high for sealed batteries. Premature failure will result due to loss of water vapor. We recommend sealed batteries only in situations where hydrogen gassing during charging cannot be tolerated, or the battery is going to be moved and handled a great deal, or in conditions where the battery needs to fit into unique, tight spaces. Boats, UPS computer power supplies, and remote expeditions are the most common uses. Special lower voltage charge controls must be used with these batteries. Life expectancy is two to five years for most AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries, and five to ten years for the higher quality, but more difficult to manufacture, gel cell batteries. Most sealed batteries are AGM types.

    Nite Rider Lights


    As a keen cyclist I am always looking for ways to be seen at night. I wanted something that was a novelty and would catch the motorists eye. So looking around at my fellow cyclists rear lights, I came up with the idea of NITE-RIDER. NINE extra bright LEDs running from left to right and right to left continuously. It could be constructed with red LEDs for use on the rear of the bike or white LEDs for an extra eye catcher on the front of the bike.All ICs are CMOS devices so that a 9V PP3 battery can be used, and the current drawn is very low so that it will last as long as possible.



    Parts


    1 555 timer IC4.
    1 4027 flip flop IC1.
    2 4017 Decade Counter IC2 and IC3.
    3 4071 OR gate IC5, IC6 and IC7.
    1 470 Ohm resistor 1/4 watt R3.
    2 10K resistors 1/4 watt R1 and R2.
    1 6.8UF Capasitor 16V C1.
    9 Super brght LEDs 1 to 9.
    1 9V PP3 Battery.
    1 single pole switch SW1.
    1 Box.

    How The Circuit Works.


    IC4, C1, R1 and R2 are used for the clock pulse which is fed to both the counters IC2 and IC3 Pin 14.
    IC1 is a Flip Flop and is used as a switch to enable ether IC2 or IC3 at pin 13.
    IC7a detects when ether IC2 or IC3 has reached Q9 of the counter pin 11.
    IC5, IC6 and IC7a protects the outputs of the counters IC2 and IC3 using OR gates which is then fed to the Anodes of the
    LEDs 1 to 9.

    Build a Power Saving Intermittent Converter Wiring diagram Schematic

    Build a Power Saving Intermittent Converter Circuit Diagram. This Power-Saving Intermittent Converter Circuit Diagram switches its dc/dc converter, IC1, off whenever the large filter capacitor, C6, has sufficient charge to power the load. This particular schema uses a dc/dc converter that produces 115 Vdc from, a 9-Vdc input; you can tailor the schema to suit other converters. The heart of the schema is a 555 timer configured as a dual-limit comparator. Thus, the 555 turns the converter on or off, depending on the voltage across C6. 

    The 555`s complementary output lights the charge LED when the FET is on. Initially, the voltage on C6 is zero, and the 555`s output turns on the FET, Ql, in turn, enabling the converter to run, which charges C6. When the voltage on the capacitor reaches the value set by R3, the 555 turns the converter off. Then, C6 slowly discharges into the combined load of the voltage divider (R2, R3, and R4) and the reverse-biased blocking diode, Dl. When the voltage falls below 1/3 Vcc, the 555 restarts the dc/dc converter. 

    If this schema powers a load that periodically goes into a zero-power, shutdown mode, the 555 switches the dc/dc converter on full time whenever the load kicks in. When the supply voltage falls below 7.5 V, the output of the converter is no longer high enough to charge, the LED doesn`t light. The schema uses 205 mA when the converter is on and 10 mA when the converter is off. The duty cycle comprises a 5-s on period, a 150-s off period, and it represents a 92% power reduction. You can further reduce power consumption by removing the charge LED and using a CMOS 555 and a CMOS 78L05 regulator.

    Kicker ZX350 4 Clarity With Agressive Looks

    Kickers impressive ZX350.4 amplifier.

    Stillwater Designs, now better known as Kicker, is an "All American" company thats been around a long time. Back in the day, they originated the "kicker" box before anyone else even thought about it - thats probably why people still refer to them as "kicker" boxes. In the early 1990s the company started building amplifiers and has since quietly grown into a large force in the market. This time we take a look at the latest stage in the evolution of the Kicker amplifier, the ZX350.4.

    Description
    Kicker rates the 4-channel ZX350.4 amplifier at 60 watts per channel into 4 ohms, 90 watts into 2 ohms and 2 x 175 watts bridged into 4 ohms. The amplifier is an unregulated Class A/B design with both RCA and speaker-level inputs, and crossover and bass boost for each pair of channels. Visually, the amplifier retains its family resemblance to Kicker amps from the past several years. It has predominantly a textured black finish with a trio of rubber-capped knobs for each channel on the top plate. Swooping "V" contours in the top sheet metal frame the Kicker badge, and a red strip of silicon rubber lines the top plate on both sides.

    The ZX series is an "upside-down" style amplifier. The main chassis is an aluminum extrusion that forms the bottom and sides of the amp. A cover plate made of stamped steel with the design and vents embossed in it covers the top of the amplifier. Adorning this piece are two badges (one for the logo and the other for the model number) and the control knobs for the gain, crossover and bass boost. The cover plate fits into two red silicone-rubber extrusions along each side of the heatsink. The molded plastic endcaps hold it in place.

    The power/ground/remote terminal, two 20-amp fuses and the power/protect indicator light are all found on the left endcap, while the speaker connectors, RCA and hi-level inputs, fader and crossover switches are on the right endcap. Crossover frequency, gain controls and bass boost level controls are located toward the right-hand side of the cover plate.

    The circuit layout inside is pretty much what youd expect from looking at the outside. The power supply and the amplification/output section each occupy half of the main board, with an empty 1" strip running right down the middle as a buffer between them. There are other ways of controlling noise from the power supply, but it looks like isolation is important to the engineers at Kicker. The preamp section is nicely contained on a daughter board suspended above the output end of the main board. Both circuit boards are double-sided, but the preamp board uses mostly surface-mount parts while the main board uses all through-hole parts.

    Starting with the power supply, power and ground is accepted through two large brass blocks. These two blocks will accept up to 4-gauge cable, although the manual recommends 8-gauge for this one as it is the smallest 4-channel in the series. B+ runs through a pair of 20-amp fuses and a small inductor. It then goes past three 2,200F capacitors for primary filtering and on to two pairs of high-speed, 49-amp switching Mosfets. A TL494 pwm controller drives the switching through the toroidal transformer at about 36kHz, achieving rails of + and - 30VDC. Secondary filtering consists of four 3,300F capacitors to stabilize the rails.

    Jumping over to the input section, the first thing I noticed is that the signal grounds are extremely well isolated from the chassis ground. With 40k ohms of isolation, this amplifier will never participate in any ground loops in your system - thats for sure. The signal and shield conductors from the RCA are all fed into low-noise op-amps, thus making this a differential input. This style of input will better reject noise radiated into your RCA cables. The owners manual reinforces this format by recommending twisted-pair cables rather than big fat coaxial RCAs. Differential inputs are typically found on more expensive amplifiers and have the potential for much better sound quality than less expensive designs. The gain control is accomplished through additional op-amps, rather than the cheaper (and noisier) style of attenuating the signal to ground.

    Lastly, the output section consists of four complementary pairs of TIP35C/TIP36C output transistors, each capable of dissipating 125 watts, or 250 watts per output channel, which is more than adequate for this unit.

    Performance
    The amp performed well on the bench, meeting or exceeding every specification as listed in the owners manual. The S/N ratio was a very respectable >94dB and the frequency response measured 13Hz to an astonishing 66kHz. The crossovers drifted ever so slightly from the published spec, but the difference was small and the curves were textbook. While filters are specd at 50Hz to 200Hz, the lowpass range was measured 54Hz to 203Hz, and the highpass was 45Hz to 180Hz. The bass boost was right on with the published 18dB boost, but centered at 41Hz rather than 40Hz. Trust me, youre not going to hear the difference on any of this.

    The protection circuits worked well, both short-circuit and thermal. I like that theyre self-resetting so you dont have to turn the system off and back on. On the bench the amp fired up smoothly and there was no turn-on or turn-off noise in the car at all.

    Manual
    The owners manual really cuts to the chase. On page 2 theres a place to write down the purchase details; then it tells you how to mount the amp. Wiring is next, still on page 2, and then it slows down a little to cover different system configurations and the setting of controls. Page 5 covers troubleshooting and specifications, while pages 6 and 7 are the warranty covered in four different languages. Speaking of warranty, Kicker provides a 2-year deal when purchased from an authorized dealer. As always, keep your receipt.

    Listening
    The ZX350.4 was installed in the trunk of my Buick and initially connected to the front separates and the rear 6 x 9s. The crossovers were set for fullrange and the subwoofer was not hooked up.

    I started out as always with Donald Fagens Kamakiriad, which is a very well-mastered recording. There is a lot going on in all of these tracks, so it can really reveal any shortcomings with the amps and speakers. Track 1, "Trans-Island Skyway" starts out with a guitar riff, adding bass, keys and percussion as the intro builds. The bass line is pretty busy and can sound muddy, but the Kicker came through. Not only was the bass clean and clear, but everything else sounded distinct and well-balanced. The center image was a little fuzzy and quite low. I checked out "Tomorrows Girls" for the highs. The cymbals in the intro were clear and smooth. "Snowbound" revealed good low-end clarity on the Fender Rhodes keyboard and bass guitar.

    Tracks from Dadas Puzzle and Mary Chapin Carpenters Come On, Come On reinforced my initial impressions that the response and clarity were excellent, but the image remained low and somewhat indistinct.

    I returned to the trunk and changed the configuration. I kept the front separates connected but set the highpass to 100Hz. The other 2-channels were bridged and connected to the subwoofer with the lowpass set to the 100Hz. I repeated some earlier tracks with good results, and then went to "Posters" on the Dada CD. This one starts out with a great drum solo, adding electric guitar along the way. It sounded great, but didnt get as loud as I really like it. No foul here, its just a smaller amplifier than I have permanently installed. In this configuration it should put out 60 watts each to the front speakers, and 175 watts to the subwoofer, where I normally have 100 watts to each corner and over 300 on the subwoofer.

    Conclusion
    I like this amplifier a lot because it did what it said it would do. The Kicker ZX350.4 is a very straightforward unit that is usable in several configurations. When auditioning the amp in my car I didnt feel the imaging and staging were as good as my reference amps, but I realize that its not an issue for most people. However, clarity and frequency response were very impressive and thats something every consumer should be concerned with.

    The ZX350.4 is stylish, somewhat aggressively so. At a retail price of $349, and a max power of 387 watts, it comes in at 90 cents per watt. As a general rule, anything with a retail price under a dollar per watt is not bad (for an amp below 500 watts). Overall its a good amp at a reasonable price.

    Suitable AC DC Wiring diagram Schematic

    This schema is simple, but very useful as well as simple and inexpensive. Its use is simple, when the positive (red) is connected to a positive voltage DC and the black lead on the negative, the red LED lights. Reversing polarities the Green LED lights. Connecting the ends to an AC source both LEDs will light. The lamp current is limited to 40mA LEDs @ 220V AC and its filament is illuminated with approximately 30V, shining more intensely with increasing tension. Therefore, due to the behavior of the filament, any voltage in the range of 1.8 to 230 can be detected without changing component values​​.

    Voice Bandwidth Filter Wiring diagram Schematic

    This schema passes frequencies in the 300Hz - 3.1kHz range, as present in human speech. The schema consists of cascaded high-pass and low-pass filters, which together form a complete band-pass filter. One half of a TL072 dual op amp (IC1a) together with two capacitors and two resistors make up a second-order Sallen-Key high-pass filter. With the values shown, the cut-off frequency (3dB point) is around 300Hz. As the op amp is powered from a single supply rail, two 10kO resistors and a 10µF decoupling capacitor are used to bias the input (pin 5) to one-half supply rail voltage.

    Circuit diagram:
    voice-bandwidth-filter-schema-diagram Voice Bandwidth Filter Circuit Diagram

    The output of IC1a is fed into the second half of the op amp (IC1b), also configured as a Sallen-Key filter. However, this time a low-pass function is performed, with a cut-off frequency of about 3.1kHz. The filter component values were chosen for Butterworth response characteristics, providing maximum pass-band flatness. Overall voltage gain in the pass-band is unity (0dB), with maximum input signal level before clipping being approximately 3.5V RMS. The 560O resistor at IC1bs output provides short-schema protection.

    DIY Tremolo Effect

    This tremolo effect schema uses the XR2206 and the TCA730 IC which is designed as an electronic balance and volume regulator with frequency correction. The schema is use full for stereo channels and it also has the ability to simulate the Lesley effect aka rotating loudspeaker effect.

    How does the Tremolo Effect Circuit works:
    Balance and volume settings are done with a linear potentiometer for both channels. If this potentiometer is replaced with an AC voltage source, a periodic modulation of the input signal can be achieved. This AC voltage source comes from the function generator IC XR2206. This IC generates square, triangle and sine wave signals but for this project we use only the sine wave.

    IC Tremolo Effect Circuit diagram


    The modulation voltage can be varied with P1 from 1 Hz up to 25 Hz. Resistor R3 sets the operation level of the sine wave generator. R5 and R6 set the DC voltage and the sine wave amplitude at the output. C2 is a ripple filter. The square wave output of the XR2206 drives T2 and a LED to optically display the frequency.

    The modulating voltage reaches pin 13 of TCA730 via P3 and R10. This input functions as the volume control or in this case the volume modulation. The degree of the balance modulation (Lesley effect) can be varied with P2. A regulated power supply using 7815 IC is recommended. Do not use a non-stabilized power supply since the current variations would influence the modulation negatively.
    Attach the 7815 IC to a good heat sink (about 10 cm2).

    Equalising HEXFETs Wiring diagram Schematic

    When experimenting with audio output stages featuring multiple HEXFETs it quickly becomes apparent that the total power is not divided equally among the individual transistors. The reason for this lies in the wide part-to-part variations in gate-source voltage, which in the case of the IRFP240 (or IRFP9240) can be from 2 V to 4 V. Source resistors in the region of 0.22 Ω as commonly seen in amplifier diagram (see example schema extract) help to counteract this, but usually not to a sufficient extent. One possible solution to this problem is to ‘select’ the transistors used so that their gate-source voltages match as closely as possible.


    For building prototypes or very short production runs this is feasible, but requires additional manual effort in testing the components, and, of course, more transistors must be ordered than will finally be used. The schema idea shown here allows differences in gate-source voltage between pairs of transistors to be compensated for by the addition of trimmer potentiometers: the idea has been tested in simulation using Simetrix. The second schema extract shows the required changes.
