Hi Julian,
without looking at the diagram (I am at work now).
True, the incoming *AC* voltage to the power bricks is some 22 V.
I assume that P1 is the Molex connector that has (IIRC) 8 black
wires which are 4 2-wire groups of the AC supply to the 4 bricks.
In that case, measuring 10 to 15 Volt (AC) is rather low.
The H744 (25A) or H7442 (32A) 5V bricks should work at 10-15 VAC
input, but what will the AC input voltage do under load condition?
Is the mains input voltage correct (what you get from the wall
outlet). Careful! Does that match the spec of the PSU?
- Henk.

Subject: BA11-K low AC output levels
Okay, so, I'm back to working on my /34. I think I made
significant progress tonight.
What's going on is, I've narrowed it down to low AC levels
coming off the transformer. The printset and H7xx modules
specify an incoming AC of 20-30v (printset says specifically
28v.) All lines coming off the transformer at P1 are reading
a value of 10-15v.
So that leaves two possibilities. It's either the
transformer, or the AC input box.
I'd like to test the levels coming out of the input box, but
I wouldn't know where to go, as my understanding of
electronics fades fast at this time of the night when I've
been up since 07:00.
Okay, so maybe I traced it back that far, it got more
complicated, and it's late and I'm feeling lazy and hoping
someone will throw me a bone here :) in any case, advice is
always appreciated.
toodles
Julian
