It should be .05v. This slight rise was meant to compensate for any loss that the load wire may introduce at full current draw.

1.5k resistor and 6.8k resistor to bring up voltage and allow regulation. +12 v sense tied to 12v on the load. 0.05% voltage change at the load (I have RCA cable from load to power supply to bring 12v signal in)

It was 0.01 volts and the maximum rise I saw was 0.02 volt rise at the load.

I have no idea what the voltage was at the supply when I was doing this. I imagine it raised .3 volts or so at the supply. 0.05% at the load was awesomeness tho.

Cool.

If you wanted to go crazy you can replace the 6.8k resistor with a 6k in series with a 1k pot and adjust it so you get .000v deviation at full load.

Just a thought.

I don't understand the craziness here..

In my mind, hooking up the +12v remote sense to +12v at the load would be good. (Actually, I hooked up the +12v and sense, and left everything else alone, no 1.5k resistor, no 6.8k resistor). Supply would just shut down under varying load, with a static load, it would exhibit drop and not shut down.

The current share pin goes UP in voltage with load (as I believe you stated before, Xvolts =~ 10X amps). I don't understand why the 12v return line is getting fed this, but it makes sense that we're varying the output voltage by feeding the sense pin with a varying voltage that changes by the load (the current share pin)

That by itself would seem to be enough to regulate the loss in the wire fairly well (By using a pot in place of the 6.8k resistor and adjusting it to dial it in)

My question is: am I adding an unnecessary step by tying the +12v sense to the load via a jumper wire? Should varying values of the resistor where the 6.8k is be enough to offer 'good enough' regulation, or does the +12v sense wire always need to be used to have regulation?

The +12 remote sense wire to the load is a good idea. Don't get rid of it!!

I was just saying that by combining both voltage sense methods.

1) The remote voltage sense method (the +12v jumper wire to load)

and

2) The local voltage sense method (the one I used)

we should be able to tweak the regulation to 0.00%.

I've been using 4 AWG wire on my DL580 G3 PS.

I get more of a voltage increase at the load with the +12v remote sense

jumper wire when I combine it with the local voltage sense method.

I would have to increase that 6.8k resistor to around 12k to compensate.

I'm guessing that you are using smaller gauge wires for the load.

You could probably use a slightly higher value than 6.8k. Maybe 7.2k or 7.5k.

A tweak-able local voltage sense should be able to compensate for load wire sizes.

Using a pot in place of the 6.8k resistor should do the trick...

Got it. You're tied into the current share in lieu of a sense jumper wire to the load. (although the two arent mutually exclusive)

Just another case of working smarter not harder! Its very clever. Since im doing several for friends, i think ill just add a pot to theirs rather than risk jumper wires coming loose and starting fires. Looks like a good place for audio taper pots or some 10 turns.

You got it.

It seems that a value of 20k in lieu of the 6.8k does the trick for me.

I get 13.00v with no load and 13.00V at full load.

I think that if you omit the 6.8k altogether for your setup, u will get a voltage drop of .02v while still using the +12v sense jumper.

Still not bad.

I only use 10 turns.

And 2 heads are better than one. Nice!!!

Hi jj604,

I have problem with Delta DPS800GB-A. I am not very familiar with forums of any kind. I have created a post #894 but it got completely "lost" among other posts on totally different topic. Could you please help me and give advice what should I do in order to get a little bit more interest of other users on my problem? Thanks in advance. Regards. ciesin

See ciesin's question below.

Anyone got any experience with this particular PS?

I have added it to the "seeking help" post on the sticky as well.

They are not brand new so am not sure if they are 100% OK. Has anyone succeded to draw 80A using Borlax method?

I also would like some help. I have managed to get the supply running with previous info on required jumpers but am not able to get anymore than approximately 8 amps before the supply drops off to 2 volts. I suspect that remote sensing may be required but don't know which terminals are the voltage sensing to tie to the 12 volts.

Thanks,

Dave

I had the DPS-700, which I think is most similar. It had a 16 amp current limit on each rail. I'd ensure you have all the 12v rails tied together so you can combine the amperage..

DPS800GB has only one multli double-sided +12V pin (pins 1-12;53-64) so can't be the case here.

Flarssern or others,

did you figure out a way to adjust output voltage on the Dell 70000814? Mine only has 11.8V.

By the way, is this noise normal on a Dell 7000814? It doesn't come from the fan. It comes from the area next to the AC inlet.

Note: the sound is more pronounced in this video than in real. It is not so loud.

If I touch the heat sink to the right, the noise is reduced.

I managed to get the HP 406421-001 337867-501 PS, like the one stated in the first post that started this thread. I bought the PS from US and I live in Malaysia. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any plug/wire that can fit the PS. I am referring to the wire that goes from the PS to the wall AC socket..any help would be much appreciated...
