PHILIPS 26CS3274 /01R "Durer" CHASSIS K35 (d) INTERNAL VIEW

The PHILIPS CHASSIS K35 it's a higly reliable monocarrier chassis and it's fully modular so it's service friendly.

It seems simple but, as any serious chassis, it's not, and it's even quite sophisticated.

Anyway these gave small problems and they were easy to service.
The Philips KT3 and K30 K35 chassis have been used in Pye and Philips colour sets from 1979-1980  to 1983. They are of modular construction, consisting of seven plug-in daughter boards units mounted on a main mother panel. The KT3 is designed to drive Philips 90° in -line gun tubes with screen sizes up to 20in. Its big screen sister, the K30, drives 110° 30AX tubes in 22 and 26in. screen sizes. Apart from this the two chassis are electrically very similar, the main differences being associated with the line output stage: the KT3 uses a line output transformer plus tripler powered from a 129V h.t. rail, whilst the K30 has a diode -split line output transformer and 140V h.t. rail. The modules are for the most part directly interchangeable, the exceptions being the chopper control and sound panels. There have been two versions of each chassis. The 1982 versions are known as "edition II". They incorporate slight changes in the mother panel and a completely redesigned decoder panel which is not interchangeable with the earlier panel. The new decoder panel has a single PHILIPS TDA3560 chip whilst the earlier panel uses a TDA2560Q and a TDA2523Q. In addition an improved power supply (chopper control) panel, type BY02, has been introduced. It's a direct replacement for the previous panels. To service a panel "in situ", a module extension board is required (part number 39537085). The KT3 and K30 chassis have proved to be extremely reliable, so there's only a limited fault history. Our experiences to date are summarised below.

Random Tripping;
Because of the high sensitivity of the power supply, look for dry joints etc. rather than a faulty component. Usual causes are as follows. Incorrect h.t. setting - the h.t. can be conveniently measured at pins 2 or 4 of the line scan coils connector M5. The e.h.t. lead not being pushed home fully into the line output transformer (K30 chassis only). Dirt or grease (e.g. cigarette tarnish) around the e.h.t. cap, focus unit or the printed c.r.t. spark gaps - clean with a suitable solvent, e.g. alcool. If necessary, carry out the following modifications: change R7354 from 27042 to 56052 (at the same time, if there's a resistor in parallel with R1461, remove it); fit (if not there already) an 0.1μF capacitor (C7337) between pin 12 of IC7322 (TDA2581Q) and the base of T7336 (BC558).

Tripping:
If the set trips three minutes after switching on, check the efficiency diode (D1464) in the chopper circuit. It should be type BY208 in the KT3 chassis and type BYX55-600 in the K30. If it's running warm or of incorrect type, replace it. If there's permanent tripping (ticking), disconnect the line scan connector M5 to isolate the line output stage. If the tripping stops and the h.t. is correct, check the tripler (KT3), the line output transistor T1562 (BU205 KT3, BU208A K30), and the EW modulator diodes D1562 and D1567. D1567 is type BY228 in both chassis; D1562 is type BY208 in the KT3, type BYX55-600 in the K30. If necessary check the line output transformer. If the tripping persists with M5 disconnected, i.e. the h.t. voltage is varying, the fault is in the power supply Check the chopper transistor T1463 (BUW84 KT3, BU426V K30), the efficiency diode D1464 (see above) and the chopper control panel by substitution.

Dead Set:
If the fuses have blown, replace the BY227 bridge rectifier diodes D6292/4/5/6 and of course the fuses - 2A delay types. If some 300V is present across the bridge rectifier's reservoir capacitor C1460a (part of the electrolytic can C1460a/b/c), check the h.t. at C1460c. If the reading is 300V, the chopper transistor T1463 is short-circuit. If the reading is zero, either the chopper transistor is duff or it's not being switched on. In the latter event, check first whether the 12V output from the rectifier panel is present at point 10 on this panel - or is less than 9V. If this supply is correct and is reaching point 12 on the chopper control panel, the latter is faulty. The usual offenders on the chopper control panel are the 6.8V zener diode D7343 (type BZX79-B6V8 - check for 6.8V at pin 10 of the i.c.) and the TDA2581Q chip itself (IC7322). If necessary carry out cold resistance component checks. The TDA2581Q chip provides protection under the following conditions: voltage at pin 7 higher than 6.8V (over -voltage protection); the pulse amplitude at pin 6 exceeds -0.6V (excess -current protection); voltage at pin 9 less than 9V (low i.c. supply); voltage at pin 10 exceeds 8.2V (excessive reference voltage, i.e. the zener diode D7343 is open -circuit); the voltage at pin 5 is 5V (this is the stand-by facility).

No Raster:
Check whether the orange plug has dropped off the focus unit (K30 only). In both the KT3 and the K30 chassis, the c.r.t.'s first anode supply/supplies are derived from the earthy side of the 24Mi2 focus potentiometer. Check whether the surge limiter R1590 in the 30/32V supply is open -circuit. This line output transformer derived supply is used by the field driver and output stages. It also biases off the field flyback blanking transistor T1535 (BC558) during the field scan, so its absence leaves this transistor hard on and no raster. Field Collapse If the 30/32V supply is missing (30V in the KT3 chassis, 32V in the K30), it's usually necessary to replace the surge limiter resistor R1590 (3.352 KT3, 1.2(1 K30), the two transistors in the field output stage, and their emitter resistors R1531/2. The resistors are 0.5W safety types, value 1.5n. The transistors are BD223/BD234 (T1530/T1532) in the KT3, BD437/BD438 (T1530/T1532) in the K30. Also check the field scan coupling capacitor C1521 (470μF KT3, 1500μF K30). Other causes of field collapse (30/32V supply o.k.) are cracks in the print around the edge of the mother board near the field driver and output stages or a faulty field oscillator (this is on the sync panel).

Field Linearity:
If poor, check by replacement the following feedback capacitors: C1522 (220μF) and C1541 (0.056μF). Check whether the feedback resistor R1502 is open -circuit (1551, 0.25W safety type).

Sync Faults:
In  the event of a rolling picture, replace all four transistors on the sync panel - T8386 (BC548), T8392 (BC548B), T8397 (BC558) and T8396 (BC548C). Only when the line sync is also poor is the TDA2571AQ sync i.c. suspect. Teletext Sets On teletext (Mk. II) KT3 and K30 K35 sets the teletext power panel at the base of the cabinet seems to be vulnerable to transit damage - you can get badly cracked panels. Failure of the 5V regulator IC1007 (MC7805CT) that supplies the teletext decoder panel results in complete loss of sync.

No Sound:
Make sure the customer hasn't switched off the loudspeaker - a muting switch is fitted on the front in most sets. Next check whether the supply is present at point 12 on the sound module. This is 20V in the KT3, 28V in the K30, and comes from a chopper transformer fed rectifier on the bridge rectifier panel. If the supply is absent, check R1413 (4 .71/ KT3, 8.252K30) and if necessary R6303 (2.2(1) on the bridge rectifier panel. Failure of these resistors is almost always due to a duff TDA2611AQ audio output i.c. (IC5181). If the supply is present, apply a signal (your finger on a screwdriver blade will do) at pin 7 of IC5181. If a hum is heard, the audio i.c. is o.k. and the most likely culprit is the TBA120AS intercarrier sound i.c. (IC5164).

Tone sound Sibilance:
Some customers complain that their sets suffer from excessive treble/sibilance, particularly those fitted with the KT3 chassis. This is not a fault in itself, but an improvement can be obtained by increasing the value of the de emphasis capacitor C5177 to 0.039μF as in production.

The Cabinet:
I've always found it best and safest to glue the front surround to the cabinet and use a sufficient quantity of self -tapping or wood screws of suitable length.

White Raster:
If there's a flooded white raster with the brightness and contrast controls having no effect, you will probably find that the 155V line filter resistor 81456 (1000 safety) is open -circuit due to a short-circuit transistor in one of the RGB output stages. Use cold resistance checks on the RGB panel as the voltage readings obtained are often confusing, then replace as necessary. In the edition II version of the KT3 R1456 becomes R1587. never more than a quarter of a turn.

No problems have been experienced with the i.f. module to date except for over aged capacitors which barely fail.

Poor HF Resolution:
If the picture is not as sharp as it could be, a fractional adjustment of the tuner's i.f. output coil is required

Tuner:
The U321 tuner unit should be replaced if the fault is low gain, cross modulation, etc.

Description:

The invention relates to a high-voltage generating device, notably for a television picture tube, comprising a transformer with a secondary coil which is divided into a number of sections. The end of each section, except for the end of the last section, is connected to the anode of a diode, the cathode of each diode is connected to the beginning of the next section, but the end of the last section is connected to the anode of a diode whose cathode is connected to a high-voltage lead, the cathode of at least one of the other diodes also is connected to a tapping lead.

A device of this kind is known from the magazine "Funkschau" 1976, Heft 24, pages 1051-1054. For example, the focus voltage for a picture tube is derived from the tapping lead. The voltage at the area of this tapping depends on the number of sections and on the value of the high voltage. When a higher voltage is required, the tapping lead must be connected behind the next section on the secondary winding. In many cases, however, the voltage which is tapped off behind, for example, the first section is just too low, whereas that tapped off behind the second section is much too high.

An object of the invention is to enable a direct voltage to be tapped off behind the first section which amounts to from one to two times the voltage difference between the beginning and the end of this section.

To this end, the device in accordance with the invention is characterized in that the beginning of the first section is connected to the cathode of a diode whose anode is connected to a point carrying a fixed potential, the beginning and the end of the first section also being connected, via capacitors, to the point carrying the fixed potential.

By a suitable choice of the capacitance of the two capacitors, any voltage between one and two times the voltage across a section can be tapped off at the beginning of the second section.

It is to be noted that a transformer whose secondary winding is formed by a number of sections which are connected in series via diodes, the beginning of the first section also being connected to the cathode of a diode, is known per se from U.S. Pat. No. 4,091,349. However, in this transformer none of the intermediate diodes is connected to a tapping lead and the ends of the first section are not connected to capacitors either.

The invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawing in which:

FIG. 1 shows a diagram of a known high-voltage generating device,

FIG. 2 is a diagram of the voltage present at a number of locations in the device shown in FIG. 1 at a given instant,

FIG. 3 shows a diagram of an embodiment of the device in accordance with the invention,

FIG. 4 is a diagram of the voltage present at a number of locations in the device shown in FIG. 3 at a given instant,

FIG. 5 is a diagram which represents the variation with time of the voltage in a number of locations in the device shown in FIG. 3, and

FIG. 6 shows a diagram to illustrate the voltage variation wih time at a location in various versions of the device shown in FIG. 3.


FIG.1 shows a known high-voltage generating device, comprising a transformer 1 with a primary coil 3 to which a pulse-shaped voltage is applied, for example, a line output transformer in a colour television receiver. The secondary coil is subdivided into four sections 5, 7, 9 and 11, the end of each of the first three sections 5, 7, 9 being connected to the anode of a diode 13,15, 17, respectively, the cathode thereof being connected to the beginning of the next section. The end of the last section 11 is connected to the anode of a diode 19, the cathode of which is connected to a high voltage lead 21 which is connected, for example, to the high voltage connection of a picture tube (not shown). The cathode of the first diode 13 is also connected to a tapping lead 23 wherefrom, for example, the focus voltage for said picture tube can be derived. The beginning of the first section 5 is connected, via a connection lead 25, to a point which carries a fixed potential.

FIG. 2 illustrates the voltage variation in each section, the number of turns n being plotted horizontally and the voltage V being plotted vertically. Each section consists of N turns in which voltage pulses 27 are induced. At the beginning of the first section 5, which is connected to a point carrying a fixed potential, the magnitude of the voltage pulses is zero and at the end of the turn N it is maximum and equal to U volts. The envelope 29 of the voltage pulses 27 is a straight line. Due to the strong capacitive coupling between the sections, no alternating voltages occur between corresponding turns of successive sections, so that the voltage pulses in the second section 7 vary across the section in the same manner as the pulses in the first section 5. The beginning of this second section thus carries a direct voltage U (due to the rectification of the voltage across the first section) and a pulse voltage zero, while the end of this section carries a pulse voltage of the magnitude U which is superposed on the direct voltage U. The same is applicable to the subsequent sections so that the voltage at the end of the fourth section 11 amounts to 4 U. It will be clear that the tapping lead 23 carries a voltage U.

FIG. 3 diagrammatically shows an embodiment of a device of the described kind which has been improved in accordance with the invention. Corresponding parts of the device are denoted by the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1. The difference with respect to FIG. 1 consists in that the beginning of the first section 5 is connected, by means of the connection lead 25, to the cathode of a diode 31 whose anode is connected to a point carrying a fixed potential, and in that at the beginning of the first section there is connected a first capacitor 43, a second capacitor 45 being connected to the end thereof, said capacitors also being connected to the point carrying a fixed potential.

If the capacitances of these capacitors are equal, their combined effect corresponds to that of a capacitor 33 which connects the centre of the section to a point carrying a fixed potential (denoted by a broken line).

The result of these steps is shown in FIG. 4 which shows, like FIG. 2, the voltage variation in the various sections. Thanks to the diode 31 and the effective capacitance 33, no longer the beginning but the centre of the first section 5 is maintained at a fixed potential for alternating voltages. As a result, the voltage pulses 35 induced in this section equal zero at the area of the central turn N/2 and are oppositely directed at the two ends of the section: thus

-U/2 at the beginning and +U/2 at the end. The capacitance 33 is charged so far that the diode 31 just becomes a conductive for each pulse, that is to say to a voltage +U/2 with respect to the point of fixed potential to which the anode of this diode is connected. The first section thus carries a mean voltage +U/2 on which there are superposed voltage pulses of the magnitude -U/2 at the beginning and +U/2 at the end of the section. This is shown in FIG. 5 in which the curve 37 represents the voltage variation as a function of the time at the beginning of the section. The curve 39 represents the voltage variation at the end of the section.

Due to the capacitive coupling between the first section 5 and the second section 7, corresponding turns of these two sections do not carry an alternating voltage with respect to each other, so that the voltage variation at the beginning of the second section corresponds to that of the first section, the mean voltage level, of course, being higher by the amount of te rectified voltage across the first section, so U volts. This is represented by the curve 41 in FIG. 5. It follows that the mean voltage on the tapping lead 23 equals 3 U/2 volts. This voltage is a direct voltage on which voltage pulses of -U/2 volts are superposed. If desired, these superposed voltage pulses can be eliminated by an RC network (not shown) connected to the tapping lead. Thus, a voltage is obtained on the tapping lead which is one and a half times that of the device shown in FIG. 1.

As has already been stated, it has been assumed that the capacitances of the capacitors 43, 45 are equal, so that the overall effect thereof can be represented by a capacitor 33 connected to the central turn. However, the voltage carried by the tapping lead 23 can be influenced by choosing these capacitances to be different.

When the values of the capacitors 43 and 45 are not the same, their combined effect corresponds to that of a capacitor 33 which is connected to a turn other than the central turn. The point in the section where the induced voltage pulses have the value zero is shifted accordingly across the section. When the capacitance of the first capacitor 43 is larger than that of the second capacitor 45, this point is situated nearer to the beginning of the section and vice versa. In extreme cases, this point may be situated at the beginning or at the end of the section. This means that the mean voltage level of the first section can vary from 0 to U volts. The direct voltage level of the curve 41 in FIG. 5 can vary accordingly from U to 2 U volts, the peaks of the negative pulses, of course, always reaching the level of the rectified voltage across the first section (U volts).

This is shown in FIG. 6 for a number of cases. The curve 41 in this Figure is identical to the curve 41 in FIG. 5

and relates to the symmetrical condition in which the capacitances of the capacitors 43 and 45 are equal. The curve 47 is obtained when the capacitance of the capacitor 43 (referred to hereinafter as C43) exceeds that of the capacitor 45 (referred to hereinafter as C45), so C43>C45. Curve 49 is obtained when C43<C45. Curve 51 represents an extreme situation where C43 is so large that the diode 31 is actually short-circuited for alternating voltages. This corresponds to the situation shown in FIG. 1. Finally, curve 53 represents the other extreme situation where C45 is so large that C43 can be neglected.

The foregoing demonstrates that the voltage at the tapping lead 23 can be adjusted between U and 2 U Volts by the choice of C43 and C45. The capacitors 43, 45 may consist of discrete components, but they may alternatively be formed during the winding of the section by using an adapted winding technique.
