Still looking for a Tripp Lite PR-25 (or similar model) DC power supply
schematic to repair the club's repeater power supply. If any one has one
I'd appreciate a copy, email or otherwise.

I called Tripp Lite just now. According to Technical Support their
PRESIDENT has
recently mandated that they would NOT send any more schematics out.
However, I could trade the supply in for a new one at about 85 bucks.

Thanks and merry Christmas,
Paul.

Looking for a Tripp Lite PR-25 dc supply schematic

Have you called 'em at:
(773) 869-1111
I blew up one of my many Tripp Lite sine wave inverters and they sent me
the schematic, free!...

Paul -

IF it uses the standard LM723 IC regulator and pass transistors (2N3055,
2N3771, or 2N3772) you do not need a schematic per say - to repair. Check
the pass transistors with you trusty VOM/DVM .. can replace 723 !!

hi paul,

Tripp lite makes good supplies but lacks in the
support side !

Good thing is the supplies use off the shelf parts
or easy substituted parts from anywhre,
http://www.mouser.com etc.

What problem(s) are you having ?

73 ps dude

There are a couple of smoked resistors on the regulator board. I can not
trust the ohm meter reading so I wanted to verify its value. I am trying to
avoid De-engineering the board. Now once the resistors are replace there
may be something else that smoked the resistors too.

Paul -

Where are these resistors .. the typical linear supply has low ohm
equalizing resistors across the NPN pass transistors .. and only a few in
the regulation circuit off the LM723 pins .. for example a 1 K is usually
used from pin 4 to the voltage adjustment potentiometer.

Here's a link to an Astron supply:
http://www.seits.org/features/pwrsup.htm

Assuming a typical 723 == pass transistors linear supply,
it shouldn't be hard to figure out the values of the cooked
resistors. The schematic at the link above serves well as a
model for many (most?) of that type of supply. Combined
with the LM723 datasheet, you can fix it.
