Dear Friends I had this rectifier, and unfortunately I haven't the schematic .
when I plug it the.
1- The unit gives me an alarm as shown in the photos OVP Trip
2- I tested the VCC on PWM uc1842 there are no volts .
3- Also the LM7812 there is no Volts which have to supply the rely by 12v.
4- I checked all mosfet and diodes Schottky there is no shorts .
5- I removed the two optocouplers to test , When I plugged it there is volts suppression it is behind the red circle X photo number 4 it has blown immediately.

can anyone please explain to me why it is blown?
and what the reason for OVP.
my dear friends kindly anyone have the schematic of this rectifier I tried to search for it but I failed

Did you plug in without the optocouplers? Why? Optocouplers provide feedback from the output to the SMPS power switch. Without them, the PSU runs away and blows up, I think , from not looking at the schematic.

Thanks sir ...my question the Ic UC1842 not working because there is no VCC on pin 7 ...so the MOSFET is already not bulied magnetic on the flyback transformer so there are no powers in the secondary portion ...for that I was wondering why the voltage suppression blown.
so kindly can you explain to me why because I miss this point

UC1842 uses a startup voltage from the HT supply, usually via a resistor, then it has it's own supply from the transformer via a separate winding. Check the resistor supply voltage voltage first.
