Here’s a translation of the operating principle of the current adjustment:
“The secondary voltage of TI transformer No. 9 and 10 is 20 volts, which is bridge rectified by V1-4, filtered by CI capacitor, and supplied to the excitation coil LI, L2, and R3 after being stabilized by the current stabilizing tube VS. They are the sampling resistors of the stabilizing circuit, and their sampling signals It is sent to the feedback end of the operational amplifier N2, and after amplification, it drives the VII transistor to control the base of the current regulator to keep the current stable. Its size is determined by the potential of the N2 input end. By adjusting the RP2 potentiometer, the stable current can be between 0- 2.5A changes. Terminals X3 and 7 of 15 Change the direction through switch Stb.Sle and connect to the excitation coil. The current can be connected clockwise or counterclockwise, and the LED voltage can be connected through the Sta switch to indicate the direction of the excitation current. The V10 light-emitting diode is used as a power-on signal light, installed on the instrument panel, and powered through R2. TI transformer No. 7 and 8 secondary 9V AC, bridge rectified by V6-9, NI three-terminal voltage regulator block outputs 9 volt DC voltage, specially designed for regulator control circuit op amp N2 and tertiary tube V11. On the instrument control and power supply combination chassis, fix a pair of excitation coils L1 and L2. In the center of the excitation coil, install the Lorentz force tube V20. After adding appropriate voltage to each electrode of the Lorentz force tube, a beam of electrons is emitted, and the linear trace of the movement of the electron beam can be seen.”
The op amp and associated circuitry seems to be working fine, when the current supply is off, it reads in+ = 0, in- = 0, out = 7.6, when the current is on but the pot is at zero, it reads 0v, 1.2v, 188mv out, and at full, 1.4v, 1.4v and 6.47v out. But it’s not controlling the current out to the coils, they just stay at full. Why??
