The HP 8 1 1 2A power supply unit occupies part of the main
board Al and consists of the following four parts, as shown in
Figure 1 0.2- 1 :
•
Line voltage selector and transformer
•
Voltage rectifi e rs and regulators
•
Voltage and current sensing circuits
•
Power-down detection circuit

Refer to Figure 1 0.2-2. The line-voltage selector-switches, S2 and
S3, connect the incoming line-voltage lines to an appropriate pair of
transformer inputs. The transformer provides six ac outputs and an
earth line to the bridge rectifiers.
There are three bridge rectifiers, all modular and therefore
replaceable:
