jmd 1 head fuse keeps blowing

Postby Rroxon » 28 May 2017, 15:36

Not sure how to deal with this now... I've changed out the EL34's from JJ... The JJ preamp tube did not work.. So I reinstalled the original ... The F1 1 amp fuse still keeps blowing.. Bias on both sides are set at 78mv.. Any thoughts on this issue ??? I'm stumped.. :bang

When this happens it is usually a bad power valve, but if you are sure they are good then you have a short in the circuit somewhere most likely created by a bad power tube. It is time for service.

Surf, you have a JMD1 correct? What fuse is he referring to? He states this is a 1 amp fuse. JMD1 has a power draw of what 375 watts? That fuse would have to be bigger than a 1 amp. A 6100 is a 375 watt load and it requires a 4a fuse.

The correct mains fuse should be a T3.15A 250V. To the OP if it is a different fuse please advise.

The correct fuse is a T3.15 20mm Fuse (3.15AMP) 250V, indeed 375 watts. The fuse is inside the head. Could also be a issue with the bias resistors

The fuse is the F1... If viewed from the bottom of the chassis.. It's the one to far right.. That fuse had been in place for the last 4 years before it blew the first time... On the spec sheet it says.... F1AE-100W T400mAE-50W...

I'll have to research how to do that.. Been a long time since I've posted any photos in a forum thread... I do know there is a photo from a few years ago in the jmd thread... if viewed from the bottom of the head... The fuse would be the one under all the power feed wires from the on-off switch and the standby switch... it says F1 and is on the very far right

If you view the second photo in this link.. You will see the fuse on the left side of the pic... It's under the yellow wires that are connected to the power and standby switch's...

Unfortunately i can't find any schematics showing the circuit for that part of the amp so i don't know what its connected to.

Got it. Try this just to rule out the power tubes. Remove all 4 tubes and turn on the amp, take it off of stand by, put it on standby and take it off again, and then back on. Does this kill the fuse?
