+5 VDC line overvoltage protection circuit
The output voltage level of the +5 V line is monitored by a Zener diode (ZD53). If the voltage level exceeds
+9 V, the status is fed back to the primary switching circuit through the transistor (Q82) and photocoupler
(PC1) to cut off the +42 V line to the regulator (IC51).
+5 VDC line constant voltage control circuit
Voltage at the +5 VDC line is controlled by the regulator IC (IC51). When abnormal voltage at the +5 VDC
line is detected, the status is input to the internal comparator of the regulator, controlling the voltage.
+42 VDC line overvoltage protection circuit
The output level of the +42 VDC line is monitored by the 2 Zener diodes ZD52 and ZD87. When the output
level of the +42 VDC line exceeds +48 V, the switching FET operation on the primary side is stopped via the
thyristor (CY52), transistor (Q81), and photocoupler (PC1).
+42 VDC line constant voltage control circuit
Voltage at the +42 VDC line is monitored by the Zener diodes (ZD51, ZD81−ZD86). This circuit feeds the
output voltage level status through a photocoupler (PC1) to the primary switching circuit to control the
switching FET to produce a constant output voltage level.
+42 VDC line overcurrent protection circuit
Output current is monitored by transistors Q81 and Q82. If the measured output current is abnormally low,
there is a short circuit, and the overprotection circuit has fed back to the primary circuit to stop the switching
FET operation.
