GV5/GV3.5 OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE MANUAL DESCRIPTION

VERSION 0.2 2014-07-23 PAGE 3.1.1

SECTION 3.1: DESCRIPTION

This section provides a high-level description of the transmitter’s key sections. The transmitter circuitry

is subdivided into four basic stages:

Ac-Dc Power Stage

Control/Monitor Stage - see page 3.1.3

RF Drive Stage - see page 3.1.4

RF Power Stage - see page 3.1.5

Refer to the functional block diagrams: Figure 3.1.1 on page 3.1.9 (GV5/GV3.5 transmitter) and Figure

3.1.2 on page 3.1.10 (audio path).

GV5/GV3.5 Electrical Schematics

Some descriptions in this section refer to electrical schematics (SD-#s) . These are located in Section 4 of

the GV5/GV3.5 Troubleshooting Manual.

Ac-Dc Power Stage

See electrical schematic Figure SD-1. The ac-dc power stage provides power to operate the low voltage

power supplies, which generate the 40 to 48 V dc voltage that is converted to the low level dc voltages

(±15 V and +5 V) used throughout the transmitter. This voltage is also conditioned to operate cooling

fans in the RF power module and reject load assemblies. The ac-dc power stage also converts the ac

power source to a positive dc voltage (PA volts) for the transmitter's RF power amplifiers and exciter(s).

The transmitter accepts a wide range of ac input voltage options:

3-phase, 180 - 264 V ac (208 V ac nominal)

3-phase, 312 - 457 V ac (380 V ac nominal)

1-phase, 180 - 264 V ac (240 V ac nominal)

The ac-dc power stage comprises ac input terminal block TB1, power supply interface PWB (A1), low

voltage power supply (LVPS) modules A (U2), B (U3), and power supply modules (U4 through U7), two

for each of the two RF power modules. There are three amber LED pilot lamps (DS1 through DS3),

located in the bottom, rear of the cabinet, that indicate the presence of each ac phase.

Power Supply Interface PWB

See electrical schematic Figure SD-1. The power supply (PS) interface PWB (A1):

interfaces between the ac input on terminal block TB1 and the LVPS and power supply

modules.

distributes LVPS voltage to the RF drive (exciter) stage and the control/monitor stage.

distributes PA voltage to the RF power stage and the control/monitor stage.

controls, with the controller module, the LVPS output voltage.

provides RS485 serial communication between the module control/interface PWB and the RF

power module power supplies.

allows configuration of the LVPS modules if the UPS option is installed.

provides status and alarm outputs from the LVPS and power supply modules, consisting of

Module Present, Power Fail Warning, Rectifier Fault and Overtemp Warning (provided to the

module control/interface PWB over a serial bus).

LVPS Modules

See electrical schematic Figure SD-1. LVPS modules A (U2) and B (U3) convert the ac input voltage to

the regulated output (40 - 48 V dc, nominally 40 V) that is applied to, and controlled by, the controller

module via the module control/interface PWB. +5 V, +15 V and -15 V regulated outputs are developed

from the LVPS output voltage (40 - 48 V dc) on the module control/interface PWB.

Power Supply Modules

See electrical schematic Figure SD-1. Power supply modules U4 through U7 convert the ac input voltage

to a regulated dc supply (PA volts) for both RF power modules. Each switching power supply module is

rated for a nominal 2725 W and provides an output voltage between 18 V and 53 V (typically 40 V). The

modules regulate the output voltage based on a serial control input from the controller module (A4),

applied via the module control/interface PWB. Each module has a built-in cooling fan, senses excessive

temperature conditions and applies an Overtemp Warning signal (for indication purposes only) to the

module control/interface PWB. The module also senses out-of-regulation on the ac input and dc output,

and applies a Power Fail Warning signal to the module control/interface PWB. Both conditions cause the

power supply to shut itself down, thus reducing the transmitter's RF output. All power supply module

signals are applied to the controller for system level monitoring.
