    ICT12012-10A Comm Series folds back under load (fixed)

    Here is a ICT Comm Series, model ICT12012-10A power supply.

    Complaint: Folds back to 9.3V under load (40W VHF radio).

    So I open this up and see nothing visual. Took another look with my ESR meter. AND? Yeah, all caps besides the main filter cap are bad. It got a full recap, including the main filter cap.

    Replaced: C7 200V 330uF, C10 35V 22uF, C15 35V 100uF, C18 35V 47uF, C 27 35V 10uF, C28 63V 47uF, C32 and C33 16V 2200uF.

    Another PSU saved from being tossed into the bin.

        I have another exact same power supply on my bench with the exact same problem as the original one.

        I did the same thing, recapped everything. Just this one had a new "feature"! After the recap, the PSU worked just fine as long as I didn't exceed roughly 4 to 4.5A. After that she instantly dropped down to 0.5V. After a couple of educated guesses, I found out R28 to be the problem. Replaced it and all is good.

                PSU is a PSU of course of course... what's so special?

                Then again I did mod it from 12V to 13.8V IIRC, but I had a vague recollection I or someone posted the mod somewhere.

                  Ahh ... was https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...1&postcount=18 not clear on what I did? I just soldered that 36K resistor on top of R318 so i cid not need to remove the old one. Forgot what the value of the original resistor there....

                    Well, switching PSU's are fine for VHF / UHF and that's where this was used in a commercial application.
