Power Factor Correction Circuit
To ensure good linearity of the mains supply voltage waveform, it is necessary to ensure that current is taken at
the start of the voltage cycle, i.e. zero voltage switching. This function is achieved with the use of a Power
Factor Correction Circuit. It is located between the main bridge rectifier and main reservoir capacitor and is
physically located on a sub-board on the left-hand side of the main chassis (when viewed from the rear of the
set. The board will also have the focus modulator circuit on it (76cm and some 66cm models only).
The circuit is basically a DC to DC converter that increases the power supply input voltage to about 400VDC.
Note that the main reservoir capacitor, C705, is decreased in value and increased in voltage rating because of
this. It is a 68µF rated at 450V in power factor module sets, and a 220µF, 385V capacitor in non-power factor
module sets.

Faults in the Power Supply
High HT
In some cases the HT can rise to over 200V, this can cause damage to other parts of the circuitry. This is
normally caused by failure of IC705 - the power supply voltage regulation feedback opto coupler. The device is
easily damaged by excessive heat while soldering, so remember to keep your soldering iron turned down to 250

C
or below, and not to solder for more than 10 seconds on each leg. If these conditions are not met the
transparent barrier between the LED and opto transistor will be damaged. Note that sometimes the set will
work for several weeks or months before failing if the opto has been damaged during fitting.
To alleviate damage to other parts of the circuitry when the HT rises, an avalanche diode was fitted across the
main HT smoothing capacitor (C720) from late 1999 production. This device has a rated maximum voltage of
170V, and will go short circuit if this voltage is reached. If the avalanche diode was not fitted, it is worthwhile
to check the following components for damage before turning the set on. Note that this diode must be fitted to
all chassis (part number RH-EX0875BMZZ).

When the avalanche diode is fitted, only four components generally need to be replaced (D735, Q601, IC705 and
C720), this is because it prevents further damage to the circuitry should the power supply be kept running.
Sharp produce a kit that contains these four items - use the part number FWSERVKIT01//
If the set is operated for prolonged periods without the avalanche diode fitted, then damage will occur to other
parts of the circuit. The CRT PWB suffers normally all the electrolytic capacitors have to be replaced if this is
the case. The moral is, DO NOT run the set when high HT is present.
