--- Quote from: Kleinstein on September 14, 2024, 08:21:00 am ---The current to look at from the ohms source should be DC from 0.5 µA to 1 mA, depending on the range. Beside the current source part, that is also a chance that a realy is at fault. One could check this by taking the current off CR202 instead of the + input. No current may also be faulty fuse at the external DMM - so maybe check the continuity. The already "repaired" area needs to be cleaned anyway - so a touch-up with new flux can be worth a try. If the resoldering changes things it may be woth to re-measure the voltages (to GND) at Q202, e.g. in the 1 K range, both with the terminals open and shorted. This should give a good idea if the issue is more with the actual current source of the protection. --- End quote --- I think my 117 has no ability to measure so small currents. I need to test it out with 287. Thanks |

| Kleinstein:
The full 18 V at the Q202 gate suggsts that the regulation tries to turn the fet off (it is a P channel FET and thus off with a positive voltage). The voltages at the OP-amp inputs (pins 5 and 6) suggest that the output should go negative and not positive as observed. So chances are high that U201 B is bad. Still having some voltage at the output side (Q202 pin 2) of the curren source somewhat points to leakage at Q202 - so this part may also be damaged ( I would at least order or look for a replacement, if ordering an AD706 (or substitute). This leaves the question if the protection is working OK. This could be a shorted transistors, or maybe one with too low a break down votlage and also an open Q211. Off cause the reason of the damage could also be from just too much voltage for the transistors. |
