Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2010 6:27 pm    Post subject: Resistor identification question

I'm still going through my problem child spare HVPS and came across a large 100R resistor @ R21 on the Control PWB that had obviously been replaced (see pic). I measured it in and out of circuit and it appears to be close to infinite. ~.006R Fluke 23 Series II.

Looking at the pic, is this large (1w or 2w?) resistor a fusistor? The other 1/2w resistor is there for size comparison. That fat boy resistor is the only one on the board of that size and rating so not sure if it's supposed to be there or if that's all somebody had when they replaced it. The rest of the boards foil side is clean except for the area of this resistor which shows heavy flux buildup so I know it was replaced sometime in the not too distant past.

I tossed in a pic of the HVPS after new parts install.

BTW-I'll wait on an answer before deciding what to replace it with

Thanks guys.

Thats what is called a color wheel inductor, its not a resistor. Who ever replaced it before you owned it screwed up.

That's a new one on me! WTF is a color-wheel inductor? How can you tell it's one of those and not a resistor? Other than being a little chubby it sure *looks* like a resistor...

No kidding, Gary! I had no idea, either!

So, how the hell do you tell the difference between a 100-ohm 5% resistor and a 100-microhenry 5% colorwheel inductor?

Damn, I learn something new every day!!!

Yepp, thats what they are called.

http://cgi.ebay.com/10-pcs-Color-Wheel-Inductors-1000uH-1nH-10-/290446823911?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_210&hash=item439ffad1e7#ht_1340wt_754

Some look like Carbon Comp resistors. look on the Marquee VNB, they used all different types on each of the 85 volt rails.

Its not easy to tell them apart. You have to look on the PCB silk screen to know for sure. When not in a board and left lying around you could screw yourself.
I have them marked in littlebags and take one out and put the rest back right away as to not get them mixed up.
its also good to have an LCR meter so you can make sure you know what you have.

Yeah, obviously if the board is marked properly, you should know... I meant what if they're laying loose... So, if they were just laying around loose, there's really no way to tell the inductor from the resistor visually... You literally need a LCR meter to tell them apart.

Good to know!

Thanks Nash. I tried Googling every conceivable way to find out what it is, beginning with "physical resistor sizes", "through hole resistor sizes wattage (and watts) and came up empty. I'll be damned.

Great...no schematics so no idea if the value is even correct and I'm not going to assume it takes a 100R resistor either. I have no choice now but to lower my pj and pull that HVPS out and apart to find out.

I don't think that inductor is what's preventing the ps from working tho because I had previously swapped that Control PWB into the HVPS that works and it worked. I'll find out as soon as I determine what value resistor should be there and replace it.

Just look at your other supply, they should be the same or you can get an idea if they are different by finding a similar circuit. Maybe Scott or Mac has the schematic for the daughter board. I never touched that one. Id look for you but I am at work. I have 6 HVPS to look at.

No prob Nash. I need to move the pj mounts back anyway so I may be able to (finally) access the ps's with little effort, so comparing is no biggie. I'm just hoping that's the problem and it fires right up. Rolling Eyes

I have one HVPS controll board here. R21 is normal 100 resistor 5% tolerance. "normal" size also so 0.5W should be OK.

Ahmmm....if thats a X2394 then R21 is not 100 ohm (unless there was a change from the print). The color bans on that resistor/inductor look more correct. Greg, what exactly is that component testing to be ohm wise?

Let me correct my phrase of the color bands on that device. Are they red/black/red or brn/blk/brn or red/blk/orng

Oh and dont beat your self up guys on never heard the term color wheel inductor. I believe that is more of a made up phrase. I've never seen it in any terminology other then Ebay which then gets linked to a few other sites by others picking up the phrase.

Sorry bout that mac...I did post the numbers just not in this thread. My bad. Embarassed

Here's a pic of the labels, and thank you. Thumbs Up

The colors are brn/blk/brn/gold.

Yup you are correct. As suspected (expected?) replacing it with 100R 0.05w 1% didn't bring any love. Still cycles up once, twice, then off until the power button is pressed again. rinse and repeat. Same LVPS and C light (C lights up without pressing any remote buttons) as before.
I have new poly caps for the working ps but I'm not touching it until I get the broken one working.
See chip?...I learned...finally. Laughing Thumbs Up I'm from a small New England town, but I wasn't their Village Idiot. Mr. Green

Mac, the colors are brn/blk/brn/gold.

I installed the 5 band 100R/0.5w/1% but no go. I 'think' I pushed an already weak IC over the edge when I reflowed it. I need to find a procedure to test them with a DMM, which is all I own.
