Fusing for 2 PTs in 1 build?
« on: February 07, 2013, 09:09:40 pm »
I'm wondering about what is the best way to fuse 2 PTs on 1 build?

I want to use 2 Hammond 229 series simi-torides for Sluckeys Warbler. 1 for the HT B+ and the other for the heaters at 12acv since it's all 12 - - 7's.

I want to fuse both the primaries and secondaries on both PT's. I'm going to buy some PCB fuse holders, 5mm x 20 mm for the secondaries which will be inside the chassis.

But for the 2 primaries I'm thinking you have to use a fuse for each, because their separate?

If not I have a few IEC pannel sockets I bought from Doug's store that have a 5mm x 20mm fuse holder built in that I could use.

Here's the link for the Warbler build with the schemos;

I would keep it simple on this project.... One fuse.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Why? Are you dropping pennies through the slots?

One fuse. 0.5A if it holds, else 1A.
