Title: AC Outlet - Buddhafied
Post by: Ken on August 14, 2023, 07:25:29 AM

John Camille made this and sent it to me to accompany his design for an AC multi-filtration unit he called "Quiet Power" .  What has he got going on here?

Looks like an MOV for lightning protection, a couple of caps to shunt line noise to ground and a noise filter that only works above 3MHz. He usually used bigass filters that worked at more like 50kHz somewhere in the design, too. This is of course from about 25 years ago and I don't recall a lot of details. Do you still have his schematics/layout notes? As I recall they were pretty extensive.

Thanks Doc.  I think I do NOT have his original notes.  I do remember that they were extensive, handwritten in pencil.  I will take another look in some long forgotten places and try to find them.
