The arrangement shown above assumes that the mains has zero impedance. Actual impedance is shown as R mains, which varies from one house to the next. The value of 800 milliohms was chosen because this is what I measured at my workbench. Your mains may be better or worse than this. Rp and Lp are the primary resistance and primary inductance, and Rm represents the magnetising current effective resistance. This is in addition to the current drawn through the inductance (which has an impedance of 12.5k at 50Hz. The inductance of a mains transformer is not a fixed value, and I've used an estimation based on measurements (and experience). If a ground loop issue exists, the GND Defender aims to resolve it by disconnecting the loop running through the connected component. By using one or several GND Defenders in a hi-fi system, iFi says that owners can ensure all components are connected to a common ground via a single path, which the should eradicate the resulting hum through the speakers. The circuitry described is intended to remove DC offset when the transformer is operating with no (or light) load. This is when it's most likely to growl if DC is present, and attempting to cater for full-load current is both pointless and ill-advised. A 1kVA transformer will draw 4.4A RMS at full load, and expecting electrolytic capacitors to handle that is unrealistic. At full load, whether temporary (transient) or permanent would require an extremely large capacitance, and it's not needed. When the load increases, the diodes shown in the schematics below take over, and they pass the load current, shunting the capacitors. Protective mechanism that extends the life of audio equipment by providing a cleaner power supply and reducing strain on the transformers.

circuit (see Figure 8) is easily adapted - the changes needed are described in the conclusion text. The mains voltage is more-or-less immaterial unless it climbs by more During the ensuing years, the 8000A established itself as one of the most successful British amps ever produced, and was joined by a range of electronics including CD players, pre/power amps and an FM tuner. The brand switched hands in 1997, changing its name to TAG McLaren Audio; and it so was known until 2004 when audiolab became part of the International Audio Group and returned to its original name. The circuit and design processes described here will work for any size transformer. In most cases, the circuit shown in Figure 3 will be fine for any transformer from 500 to 750VA. DC stoppers are usually not needed in smaller toroidal trannies because their primary DC resistance is high enough to limit the (usually small) DC component so the DC has very little effect.

As you can see, the normal idle current is not a sinewave. The small peaks at the right side of the half-cycles become larger as the transformer is pushed further towards saturation, indicating that the transformer is just on the verge of saturation in normal operation. This is deliberate. If a transformer is built using enough primary turns to ensure that no saturation effects are visible, it will have very poor regulation because the primary resistance will be too high.

This creates noise in the audio signal, which degrades sound quality – a situation that continues to worsen with more and more electrical devices being added to the home mains supply. if errors or omissions in this warning or the article itself contribute in any way to death or injury.
