6.7 800W POWER SUPPLY
WARNING
This power supply contains voltage potentials greater 
than 400V. Considering the dangerous voltages and 
the complexity of the switch-mode power supply, it is 
strongly recommended the power supply be returned 
to E.F. Johnson for repair (see Section 1.8).
6.7.1 FILTER BOARD
AC power is brought into the power supply
through the IEC connector in the front of the power 
supply (see Figure 2-2). This connector is attached to 
the EMI filter assembly, Part No. 023-2000-820. The 
filter contains common mode and differential mode 
filtering such that the supply complies with FCC 
Class-A regulations. In addition to the filter compo-
nents (C1, C2, L1, C3, C4, L2, C5) R1 is used to dis-
charge the filter capacitors when AC is removed. 
Metal-oxide varistors (RV001/RV002) are placed 
across the line on the input and output of the EMI filter 
that clamp transients on the AC line to prevent damage 
to the power supply. The AC power is fused with 
F001 after the connector and before the filter. Replace 
fuse with a 15A/250V (314015) fuse.
At the output of the filter board is a bridge recti-
fier. The rectifier is heat sunk to the filter bracket 
through a Grafoil thermal interface pad. Filtered AC 
power is connected to the main board via wires W001 
and W003. Filter and rectified current is brought to 
the main board via wires W004 and W005. The safety 
ground is connected from the filter board to a stud in 
the chassis through W002.
6.7.2 POWER FACTOR CORRECTION
The power factor switching frequency is set at
87.5 kHz, ±5 kHz. The average current mode boost 
converter is comprised of L107, Q101, CR145, C110, 
C111. Half of U102 is used for power factor correc-
tion. RT101/RT102 are negative temperature coeffi-
cient thermistors that limit the in-rush current to C110/
C111. The resistor network connected to CR104 
charges up C106/C107 to +18Voff the line. This pro-
vides the bias voltage required to start the controller 
IC U102. Once the IC turns on current is being 
switched on L107. A small tap winding on L107 pro-
vides sustaining current to the U102. When AC is first 
connected it could take several seconds for C106/C107 
to charge to +14V before the unit starts.
U102 samples the input voltage through R105/
R106/R107; the input current through T103/T104/
CR146/CR108/R113/R114; and the output voltage 
through the divider at R127. U102 modulates the duty 
cycle to MOSFET Q101 such that the input current is 
shaped like and in phase with the input voltage. The 
controller has two feedback loops; a voltage loop to 
keep the 400V constant and a current loop to keep 
input current correct. Compensation for the current 
error amp is C120/R141/C121 on U102, pin 1. Com-
pensation for the voltage error amp is provided by 
C127/C142/C126 on U102, pin 16. U102, pin 4 and 
associated circuitry automatically adjust the Power 
Factor Correction (PFC) for input voltage (100-240V 
AC), line frequency (50-60 Hz) and load on the power 
factor.
NOTE: The output voltage of the power factor section 
is at 400V DC. This voltage is bled off slowly. After 
turning off, it can take more than 5 minutes to dis-
charge.
6.7.3 MAIN PULSE WIDTH MODULATOR
The +26.5V output is created from a two-transis-
tor forward converter Q116/Q118. It uses the 400V 
output of the power factor correction on C110/C111 
for an input voltage. The same controller IC (U102) 
drives the +26.5V stage. This stage runs at exactly 
twice the power factor correction frequency and uses 
trailing edge modulation. The pulse width modulator 
uses the PFC supplied current for modulation scheme 
that reduces ripple current in C110/C111.
The output of the IC, U102, pin 11 is fed to a
level shifting gate drive network comprised of C139, 
C140, T106, C136, C197, C137 and C228. Each 
MOSFET (Q116, Q118) of the two-transistor forward 
converter has a gate protection zener diode CR117, 
CR120 respectively. In addition, each power MOS-
FET has a gate turnoff network.
