I would supply a circuit diagram but unable to locate one even after extensive searching and asking Xantrex is completely hopeless.Not sure what the big secret is,Oh well.
A friend of mine over loaded his C60 charge controller and turned it into a toaster.Apparently the capability isn't as high as he thought .Anyway ,I initially found that most of the IRF3205 power mosfets were toast.So I replaced them thinking that's all it needed.Bench tested at 10 amps and everything looked fine .I don't have anything to test it beyond 10 amps .Well I guess I'm Not very lucky.It seems that it gets hot again with less panels than his C35.So I rechecked the mosfets and of course one was burned out again on the B side.I replaced the bad one again.
Under further investigation the A side remains fairly cool but the B side gets warmer when I bench test.It seems to me that all the Mosfets on A side and B side should run at least on the bulk stage.
So something else is wrong.All the diodes ,resistors and caps check fine.I checked all the transistors in the upper region and they were fine but I replaced them anyway.I replaced the TL071CP as well although I'm sure what it's for just yet .Reverse engineering is no fun at all.
So I figured I should check how the TC1427 is wired in and found that pin 5 out B drives one side and pin 7 out A drives the other.Both input pin 2 and input pin 4 are tied together. I seems to me that both outputs should be equal then if both inputs are tied together.Or is there something I'm missing?I'm not sure what to look for when checking the outputs.Or how I should check it .What I believe is a oscillation circuit is tied to pin 2 and 4 .I guessing there should be an oscillation at the outputs similar to the inputs.Or would I do a voltage check.
I was going to just replace it but I was sent the wrong ones (TC1426) which are inverting.The TC1427 is non inverting.So I doubt they're interchangeable.
