POWER SUPPLY
Power transformer T1 supplies the power required to operate the Linear Amplifier. A dual-winding
primary allows the amplifier to be operated from120 VAC or 240VAC. These winding are
connected in parallel for 120 VAC operation or in series for 240 VAC operation. Two 10 ampere
or two 20 ampere fuses protect the transformer against overload depending on the primary
voltage. Capacitors C11 & C12 provide AC line bypassing.This amplifier uses a special
combination safety interlock/step-start circuit. Interlock switch SW1, On/OFF power switch
SW2A&B must be closed before power is supplied to the primary of transformer T1. Relay K-1
