    Default PSUD guru required

    Hi
    I’m after someone experienced in PSUD to optimise my SIT amps power supplies.
    Currently running a CLC but not sure if my choke at 2.5mH/10amp is correct replacing a 1ohm/100w resistor in a CRC config.
    Any help appreciated
    Rob

    Your 2.5mH choke is only equivalent to a 1.5 ohm resistor, so no real change.

    Can you get a choke with 10's of mH with the required current rating?

    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    Alternatively you could go CLCLC if you have the space.

    OK. What voltage drop do you get across the 1 ohm in normal operation?

    Do you have something like a 2A current flow through the SIT?

    Hi Alan R1 is replaced with the 2.5mh choke never measured the voltage drop across R1 .
    The current Id is adjustable sweet spot is around 2.5amp can run it to max 3amp
