Hi all,
I just finished building the basic Crack, but my voltages are way too high. (Please see below)
The incoming AC voltage measured 244V (UK), so I wired the transformer accordingly. The transformer voltage tests were fine.
Resistance checks were good as well. Everything glows as it should (as far as I can tell).
I followed the instructions from the other thread with almost the same problem (https://bottlehead.com/smf/index.php?topic=11312.0) and reflowed the joints of the black cables. No change to the measurements. I'm hesitant to plug it in again, as the V is well beyond the rating of the caps...
Voltages measured:
1. 182V
2. 388V
3. 0V
4. 389V
5. 182V
6. 0V
7. 243V
8. 0V
9. 243V
10. 0V
Picture of my wiring in the attachment.
Thanks!
Simon
