Heathkit Mains Power Supply HP-20 HP20

Description

The Heathkit Model HP-20 Utility Power Supply was designed primarily to furnish all the necessary power for Heathkit Mobile Transmitters and Receivers, when they are used as fixed station units.

Being a utility power supply allows it to be used to supply power to many other makes and types of amateur equipment as well.

The Model HP-20 will supply a full 120 watts of power, 600 volts at 200 milliamperes.
A half voltage tap (300 volts) is available for supplying the receiver, or low level stages of the transmitter.
In addition 130 volts of negative bias is available at a current rating (30 ma) consistent with voltage regulator service.
This feature allows use of the HP-20 with SSB equipment requiring regulated bias voltage.

The loads on the high and low voltage terminals of the supply should be adjusted so that the total power drain will not exceed 120 watts.
A typical example would be a drain of 600 volts at 150 milliamperes from the high voltage tap, which equals 90 watts.
This would leave 30 watts available at the low voltage tap, or 300 volts at 100 milliamperes. The total of the two will equal the 120 watt rating of the supply.

In event of a complete short circuit in any of the secondary circuits of the supply, two fuses of the proper current rating afford adequate protection.

The supply features excellent static regulation, combined with the advantages of good dynamic regulation, achieved through the use of high value filter capacitors.

A full-wave voltage doubler circuit affords good efficiency along with circuit economy.
The resultant ripple frequency is twice the source frequency and, therefore, is easier to filter.
A further advantage is that each capacitor in the doubler circuit requires a DC rating of only half the output voltage, since the capacitors are in series.
