What are you trying to do?

Scotty; I need more power!

I prefer green and white, but that's just me.

Hi jjmn2rcp,
Current is defined as voltage divided by resistance. By adding a load to the amp, you decrease the current. Normally the amp should compensate for this, but if the load is to high, the amp will shut down to prevent damage, which is likely what's happening in your case. The amp is rated for 13.8V DC at 10 amps, so make sure you don't have to much connected to the amp. You can find a manual and schematic for the amp at http://pyramidcaraudio.com/manuals/PS15KX.pdf.
Hope that helps!

Sounds like the regulator goin. I've read when they go bad it will go full voltage which is 37vdc.
Looks like they use the LM723 regulator. I'm no expert, but may be that simple.
Here's a link to a schematic. Hope it helps

I have a PS14KX. It won't handle any load. If you have any ideas let me know

I'm not sure what you mean by 'wide open voltage'. If it's over 17v, the supply may have multiple problems. I don't have the 52kx schematic but other Pyramid supplies have over-voltage protection. There is an SCR that is triggered when the voltage gets to ~17v. This should clamp the output and trigger a shutdown. You should check the 16v Zener diode and the SCR. If the SCR or the Zener is defective, that would prevent the over-voltage from clamping the voltage. Also confirm that the SCR has a solid connection to the ground terminal of the supply. If it's open, that could prevent the clamp from shutting down the supply.

If the voltage is going high, measure the DC voltage from pin 4 to pin 5 of the LM723. It should remain the same at all times. Also measure the voltage from pin 5 to the ground terminal of the supply. That should also remain constant at all times.

The problem I have had with a PS-20 is a blown capacitor. Hooked to a radio, would allow radio to receive fine, but when trying to transmit, amperage would bottom out. Behind the transformer is a large circuit board. UNPLUG POWER SUPPLY, remove cover, Undo the two nuts, flip board over, and gently rock the 4700uf capacitors side to side. If they move more than 1/16th of an inch, chances are they are blown. Remove/replace and should be good to go...

Most of Pyramid's supplies are based on the LM723 voltage regulator. The DATASHEET should tell you most of what you'll need to know to repair it. THIS is the schematic diagram.

If the output voltage drives the voltmeter to the end of the scale, it likely has one or more shorted power transistors.
