Voltage Sense Input for High Current PSUs
(1/1)
FxDev:
Hello,

I designed 24V 250A PSU. In this project I used TL431 for feedback but one of my customer wants to use Sense Input for long distance voltage drop.

Can you suggest me any schematics or app notes about that?

That’s quite a big supply you’ve built there; I can see why remote sense is an issue.

I haven’t done one myself, but you could have a look at the EEZ BB3 design (schematics available on Github).

My guess about things to look out for:
- swapped leads
- don’t blow up if a lead falls off (ie don’t have output voltage suddenly go to max!)
- how much cable voltage drop will you support? (Note, someone working on batteries might want to put a diode in series)
- how much current will you draw from the load if the power supply is off? (Batteries again)
- will long leads (ie inductance) cause oscillation?
- will the supply be OK if the mains input is removed and there’s still voltage at the output? (Eg capacitor banks and batteries)
