power supplies

Hi guys, I am working on 12V 30A smps that has only 1V output. I haven't got board's schematic but I found one same like mine( Schematic Link). I measured high voltage capacitors (C2 and C3 on the schematic.) and bridge rectifier. They are working. Also checked power switching transistor on...

Suppose you have a bad LED TV with its power supplies board damaged. And this board is no longer available for sales. So how should you choose another similar power supplies board to replace it. What specifications you need to look at?

Hello everyone, I'm writing this post mainly to help others who have had asked many questions in the past how to figure out the input supply leads (115V or 220V AC wires) on a salvaged UPS transformer. These transformers from a UPS are quite bulky and quite powerful and can be very useful in...

I am designing a transformer for a high voltage converter. The topology is a push-pull converter. My method is to have a 200V primary generate 4x750V secondary windings, each feeding a voltage multiplier to generate 1500V. Then connect these in series and generate the final 6kV. So far I have...

Just curious, how do they shut down those wind power plants given their tall structure? What are the procedures to do it? Thanks.

Was cycling near a hydroelectric power plant generator with my sister and she asked me if they can be shut down. I said "Yes, all power plant generators can be shut down". I wasn't sure, so here I am to get some inputs on the safety procedures from AAC readers. Thanks. Any input is appreciated!

Hi everyone and sorry if this is the wrong section. I have a problem findings the correct piece of power supply.. What I need: A power supply I can connect at home (220VAC, 50/60hz) Output Voltage/Current enough to Power at least 1 ESC + brushless motor + propeller Up to 15 V output Up to...

After my initial newbie post, I have decided I want to use an open frame power supply for my project. (Low power fan heater) I have looked at a few and I'm not sure whether I am either looking incorrectly or what I am looking for is just out of my price range and a cheaper option doesn't exist...

I am in the process of designing a MPPT controller for a wind turbine. There are plenty of MPPT boards (with BQ24650 MPPT charge controller ICs) but these are fixed voltage MPPT designs tailored for photovoltaic applications. So I decided to make a simple DC converter (buck boost design, non...

Hi all, I am new to power suppl design at the workplace when it comes to SMPS modules. Lately I have been wondering where my knowledge comes in to use when designing power supplies. This is because whenever I find a controller IC for whatever DC-DC converter I am designing, they already have a...
