Dear readers,
Very good morning to all
I have two SMPS blocks lying with me, each 400watt, used in my old PCs. I want to use the 5 volt supply for the LEDs, not touching the 12 volt lines. will this destroy the whole SMPS, as my power requirement is only a few watts, may be up to 10 watts and the SMPS is of 400 Watt type.
when partly used, will it destroy the whole SMPS? is my question.
and
as my requirement is only 10 to 15 watts, will the smps puts the total 400 watts load on my power lines?
Please help me to go ahead.
