  • Today I took a look at a cheap 24V 10A 240W switching power supply module from Ebay. Let's test it, let's see what's inside, let's find its fault and let's repair and improve it :).
    The next part (detailed explanation of the schematic):

      Bloody HELL!! :D Well it's obviously an assembly error, whether it's manual or automatic. But what's really troubling is that it has supposedly passed QC yet Diode has clearly shown us the specs were out of whack (ex. the higher than normal standby power consumption), which leads one to believe that there may not even be quality tested or maybe just random ones only. Oh the one legged cap... they've tried to save some colder... tsk-tsk

    The bleeding resistors on the main caps also act as a voltage divider to make sure the voltage is nicely divided over the capacitors in series.

    • @DiodeGoneWild
      @DiodeGoneWild  Před 5 lety +11

      That's right :). Otherwise, the voltage may not divide properly in case the capacitors have significantly different leakage current.

    Fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing, had not thought about winding an extra winding for the scope, realy nice idea.
    I have used a little inductor held close to the transformer, coupled to the scope before, to determine if the transformer was switching, that also works, but you dont get the correct waweform, only to determine if it is switching.
    Looking forward to the explanation video.

    I've been working on a large LED bench light for ages and planned on having temperature and power monitoring. I keep letting too many features creep into the project (clock/room temp/LCD/menus/single button with multiple functions/watchdog timer/etc). I guess I'm still too stupid to "Keep It Simple *."
    ...anyways...now I want to add mains current sensing to monitor efficiency too ;)
