It took me probably half an hour to build this brilliant shunt regulator. I waited for a long time until picked up this board and stuffed all components. I will use it in my next generation of DHT preamps.
Output ripple is below 5mV, can’t even measure it given the noise in my workbench. The test gig included my variable power supply (600V) feeding the shunt regulator which was set for 40mA. output load is three 3K3 power resistor clads (50W each).
I adjusted the regulator to provide about 160V, so current is about 16mA. Interesting to seer the harmonic profile to have a higher peak at 200Hz compared to the 100Hz harmonic….
