High voltages may appear at unexpected points in defective equipment. The XP-800 is equipped with a three wire line cord which grounds the chassis to the power line ground. DO NOT CUT OFF OR DISABLE THE GROUND PLUG.
If the power supply is overloaded, either the 3 amp or 10 amp circuit breaker may trip. When this happens, the button in the center of the breaker will pop out. To reset the breaker, push the button back in. Both are thermal circuit breakers so you may have to wait a while for the breaker to cool before it will reset.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION As shown in Figure 1, the basic circuits of the XP-800 Power Supply are 1) the power source, 2) the power transformer, 3) the bridge rectifier and 4) the meter circuits. Each of these circuits will be discussed below.
