                                              the issues I’ve
                                              experienced with my VLF
                                              active antenna. As I
                                              mentioned, the DC-DC
                                              converter (XP Power
                                              IP2415S) failed after I
                                              applied power. I turned
                                              the volume up because I
                                              wasn’t hearing sferics,
                                              and shortly after, I heard
                                              the squeal of the DC-DC
                                              converter. When I pulled
                                              out the smaller foam core
                                              partially, I heard a
                                              squeal coming from the

                                              had a failure of the DC-DC

                                              built the VLF preamp. It
                                              was being powered by the
                                              Raspberry Pi box (same
                                              power circuit as my text

                                              failure and when the power
                                              was restored, the DC-DC
                                              converter failed.  In both
                                              situations, it was being
                                              supplied with 30VDC, with
                                              the limit is 36V. The
                                              reason for using 30V is to
                                              overcome the voltage drop

                                              both failures, there was a

                                              converter causing the
                                              supply to be pulled down.
                                              Because the input and
                                              output are isolated, I
                                              figured the fault had to
                                              have been caused by a
                                              voltage spike on the input
                                              due to power being turned
                                              on and off. The datasheet

                                              withstand 50V spikes at
                                              100ms, but I can’t think
                                              of anything else that

                                          <div dir="ltr">To mitigate
                                            this problem with the supply
                                            voltage at 30V, I decided to
                                            use a TVS diode across the
                                            input of the DC-DC
                                            converter. Here is the
                                            schematic: (my apologies for

                                            backwards)</div>
                                          <div dir="ltr"><image2.jpeg><br>
                                          </div>
                                          <div dir="ltr">I chose a
                                            unidirectional TVS so there
                                            is also protection if the
                                            voltage spikes have any
                                            negative components. I
                                            picked a TVS with a working
                                            voltage of 33V, a Littel
                                            Fuse P4KE39A. According to
                                            the datasheet, it looks like
                                            this would be adequate. TVS
                                            diodes have a PN junction
                                            that is more rugged, with a
                                            larger surface area for
                                            greater current density. One
                                            thing I overlooked with this
                                            type of circuit protection
                                            is that once the TVS
                                            conducts, current from the
                                            power supply will be shunted
                                            too, known as the follow
                                            current, and in some
                                            situations, this may cause
                                            issues requiring a fuse. In
                                            this case, since the spikes
                                            are probably short duration,
                                            and since the DC-DC
                                            converter in the text/Pi box
                                            has short circuit
                                            protection, this should not
                                            be an issue. </div>

                                          </div>
                                          <div dir="ltr">So the
                                            questions I have are: do you
                                            also think it could be
                                            voltage spikes that caused
                                            the failures, and if so, was
                                            my choice of TVS diode
                                            adequate. Also, one
                                            important question, if I
                                            connect the anode of the TVS
                                            diode to the receiver side
                                            ground, will I lose
                                            isolation? I know that
                                            during spike current
                                            conduction, I will. I’m sure
                                            I can still get adequate
                                            protection with the TVS
                                            diode anode connected to the
                                            negative of the isolated
                                            power loop too, but I just
                                            wanted to be sure. </div>
                                          <div dir="ltr"><br>

                                          <div dir="ltr">Lastly, since
                                            the magnetometer board will
                                            undergo another revision, I
                                            feel it may be worth it to
                                            add some sort or adjustable
                                            regulator or use of an
                                            external power source (not
                                            connected to the 5V pin of
                                            the Pi header) because even
                                            with paralleling wires or
                                            pairs, some installations
                                            will require very long
                                            lengths (especially since
                                            interference-free locations
                                            are often far away from the
                                            shack) and the voltage may
                                            drop to where the LDO cant
                                            regulate. Using a higher
                                            voltage at the Pi end (like
                                            I do with the VLF preamp)
                                            may be required for some
                                            installations. I think this
                                            should be considered if it
                                            already wasn’t addressed. </div>
