SWITCH BOARDS

There are four Switch Boards in the Power Wave, each containing an input capacitor. The capacitors on Switch Boards #1 and #2 are always in parallel, and the capacitors on Switch Boards #3 and #4 are always in parallel. When the filter capacitors are fully charged, they act as power supplies for the Switch Boards. The Switch Boards contain the Field Effect Transistors (FETs) which, when switched on, supply the Main Transformer primary windings with DC current flow. See FET operation discussion and diagrams (Figures E.10 and E11).

NOTE: Unshaded areas of Block Logic Diagram are the subject of discussion.
