I have attached a picture of a power supply I am working with. Suitable for worldwide voltage.
I have one USA model 120v 60hz
I have one Europe model 230v 50hz
It has a jumper with 5 pins on the AC filter board, this jumper determines whether incoming AC is 240v, 230v, 120v or 100v.
So I change it from 230v to 120v. But I don’t see how to change frequency
I don’t see any visual difference besides the voltage jumper when comparing the two units...
The unit that has been converted from 230v to 120v is running hot. The voltage from the power supply board is surely coming out a bit higher, about 10-20% higher voltage than the unit that was designed for 120v 60hz.
The power supply goes to regulators which bring the voltage down to the appropriate level for the circuit, so the circuit is safe, but I want to know what I need to fix so that the unit is not running hot because it’s expecting 50hz and getting 60hz
