3.1Introduction
The Go ld Lin e 50-A a nd 9 0-A powe r su ppli es are p art o f a radi o pag ing t ransm it ter. The
50-A v ersion is u sed in t he GL-T 8500 transmitter; the 90-A version is used in the GLT8600 transmitter. The supplies provide power to other assemblies within the rack,
including cooling fans.

3.2Physical Description
The supp ly c hass is m us t acc om mod ate m ore t ha n one typ e of eq uip ment ra ck. A ccor d ingl y ,
the assembly may vary sl ightly for proper cooling and mo unting requirements. Weight
varies with supply configuration. Also refer to T able 2-1. Figure 3-1, Front View of Gold
Line 50-A Power Supply shows the front of the p ower supply , and Figure 3-2, Top View
of Gold Line 50A Power Supply s ho w s a v iew of th e po w er supply from the to p.
The power supply i s mounted in a stand a r d 19-inch rac k. Some rack cabinets do n ot hav e
equipmen t access f rom the back ; others do. Th e steel sup ply chassis has no top or si des.
The protective front cover attaches to the front rail of the rack cabinet. The chassis is folded
on the bottom to allow it to slide between the rack-cabinet floor and two floor-mounted
bars. The chassis is held in place with two bolts tha t attach to the rack cabin et throu gh the
lower f r ont ed g e of the c has s is . Th e s upp l y i s mo unt e d a t the bottom of the equi pment r ack
in all single-transmitter configurations.
The suppl y requires little cabin et space . Refer to F igure 3-1, Front View of Gold Line
50-A Power Supply for detail. The front panel of five RUs (8.75 in) in height contains a
circuit breaker and fuses. Figure 5-1, Gold Line 50-A Power Supply Front-Panel
Controls and Indicators shows and describes thei r function s.

6THEORY OF OPERATION
6.1Chassis Components
Refer to Figure 6 -1 and Figure 6-2.
Ferroreson ant transforme r T1 and reson ating capacitor C 1 act as a re servoir to allo w a
constant voltage ou tput despi te chang ing load c onditio ns as long as a consta nt voltag e is
applied to the input. It is electrically protected by circuit breaker CB1. There are taps on the
primary of the power transformer to allow various ranges of input voltage.
Output is r e ct ifi ed by CR1 and CR 2, a n d fil t ered by C2, C3, an d C 4, and C5 to prov i de a
filtered, stable dc output . Dc o utput for th e PA is cabled di rectl y from the f ilter c apac itor
assembly to term inals m ounted on the side of the equipment rack. Dc for the ex citer,
receiver, controll er, fans, and auxi liary equi pm en t is routed thro ugh plug J1.
6.2Voltage Regulator Assembly
Refer to Figure 6 -3.
The 13.5-volt output of volta ge regulat or IC U1 is set b y the values of R1 thr ough R3. Ass ociated components filter and protect the assembly from damage due to electrical transients.

Common hand tools are required for assembly and disassembly. An RFI-immune voltmeter
is required to measure dc voltag es .
8.0.2Precautions
Follow all danger advisories in para graph 9. 1, as ac powe r is ap plied to equipm e nt during
some tests. Only qualified technicians should perform these service items.
8.0.3Resonator Capacitor Check
With main power applied, connect a dc meter across the supply dc output. Level should be
24-27 Vdc. .
This check is complete.
8.0.4Transformer Check
With ac input pow er applied, conn ect an ac meter a cross the second ary winding of the

Approximately twice supply voltage (50 Vac) should be presen t.
This check is complete.
With power off, disconnect each diode from the heat sink.
Check with ohmmeter in diode-checking mode from each diode anode to the heat sink;
normal dc conduction should be present from each one.
