HOW TO MAKE A SYMMETRICAL POWER SUPPLY 1

TRANSFORMER 2 KIPROK / DIODE BRIDGE FOR VARIOUS
PURPOSES & THEIR ADVANTAGES.
SYMMETRICAL POWER SUPPLY SCHEME 1 TRANSFORMER 2 KIPROK
TO SUPPORT POWER AMPLIFIER AND ACCESSORIES
Many people use 2 transformers and even more for 1 amplifier unit. Actually that's fine, the important thing is that you have to
have double the funds to buy those 2 transformers, where the price keeps going up as the price of 9 basic commodities
increases  . Maybe for those of you who don't have responsibilities as the head of the family, 1 amplifier unit using 10
transformers is not a problem because no one will criticize.

Now, for those of you who still have to make a million reasons to your companion before buying electronic components, then
this 1 transformer 2 kiprok solution can be very helpful. The benefit is that apart from efficiency in household spending
budgets, this method can also streamline your home's power usage so that your PLN meter bill doesn't continue to swell just
because every day you listen to music from Canada, Aurora, Adella, Sonata, Monata, New Palapa, et al every day  – it means
the same thing that is efficient power.

In this way you can save a little, and if you look at the circuit of your amplifier unit it's not too complicated, it's also not too
heavy to lift, for example, borrowed by a neighbor for takziah, or an RT meeting. The question is, will it not cause humming,
braming, humming noise if the supply of accessories is taken from just one transformer?

You see, the hum problem can indeed be caused by an unclean supply, but if the setup method is correct I think it's the same. I
myself always use this method instead of having to fight over the shopping budget with my wife – and the results are good and
no hum. As long as your wiring and grounding are good it won't be a problem. Precisely if most transformers have the
potential to hum because transformers emit flux/magnetic fields which can affect signals, especially accessories. Check ID Ot:

TO INCREASE CURRENT AND CLEAN VOLTAGE
Indeed, 1 kiprok is enough to handle 1 power amplifier unit, but if you want to set aside a few rupiahs to add 1 more
bridge/kiprok diode then it won't be in vain. Obviously this will have its benefits - especially if you are still using 150 power
standard with a 5 ampere transformer.

By using the following 1 transformer 2 circuit scheme, you will get a cleaner and stronger current supply (supposedly
anyway). But I think it's true, because after I practiced it the results were really good, the sound was clearer and the bass was
kicking more even though it was only a standard 150watt OCL power 1 set of final tr.

I got this idea from the community , which has gone through a long pro & cons debate that has hundreds of comments in
length. Someone said short? but not if the winding on the CT is cut first…  Read also: How to String a Lot of Elco for a

SO WITH NOTES: 

You have to modify the CT transformer a bit, by separating the windings that are connected to one on the CT pin so it
doesn't short!! . One end of the email wire to this kiprok, and the other end of the cut to the other kiprok. See Picture
below!

TO SUPPORT THE STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER
"Isn't it a stereo/dual power amp, the power supply is sufficient even if you only use 1 chip/diode bridge? Don't you just have
to join, Boss?"

If you want to ask something like that in the comments, I guarantee I won't reply. Yes, it's true, that's enough – meaning you
can use 1 symmetrical power supply for dual power amp/stereo as usual.

However, if you are willing to set aside a budget for additional kiprok/diode bridge then you will get more benefits than if you
only use 1 kiprok like most others. Then what are the benefits and are there any disadvantages to using this method? Of course
there are, as follows:

Benefits:

1. You will easily track it down if there is a problem with the power amp in the future
2. If there is a problem with the power amp on channel L or R, then the other channels are safe or not disturbed
3. If one of the channels has a short/short-circuit, for example a final short or speaker short, then it will not affect/damage
the other channel components.

4. The heat diode bridge will be reduced because the heat will be shared for each diode bridge. Because the heat on the diode
bridge will greatly reduce its effectiveness, in other words, reduce the current.

Disadvantages:

The disadvantage is, because this method only uses ½ wave, the resulting current is certainly not as optimal as if it were 1
wave. Even though this is only a small amount, it is still better if you divide the voltage in the usual way if you use 1 kiprok.

But there is a solution. That is, if you want to be safer, meaning if there is damage to one of the L/R channels it won't affect the
other channel – plus you also get optimal current from a 1-wave supply circuit, so you can use this method => click here .

OK, here's the schematic:

So, friends, 3 ways to use 2 kiprok with 1 transformer on a symmetrical power supply for a power / amplifier unit with
explanations, uses, benefits and purposes.
