Server PSU Based Radio Power Power Supply

A low cost, high current power supply for Amateur Radio utilising a Server PSU.


Feature Ideas

  • Powerpole Connectors
  • Wattmeter

Tasks

  • Design Interface (There are some that already exist, however most of this use ATX 6pin connectors or other less useful connectors - if you can actually find the designs)
  • Identify maximum voltage obtainable from supply.
  • Modify PSU to boost voltage 12v->13.8v (or as close as possible)
  • Look into reducing EMI

Parts List

Complications

  • Original PSU was going to be a Dell POWEREDGE 2950 Redundant Power Supply however upon testing this supply, voltage would not rise above 12.2v and would drop under load.
