My first vid of your channel. Liked, subscribed - this is exactly the walk thru that works for me. Especially since I've taken to looking at the various power supplies I have cannibalised from computer and tv equipment. I appreciate the way you describe a device by mapping out the circuit and providing explanation about the chip and circuit operation. Nice work.

@L2.Lagrange Год назад

This is super helpful. I am working on a power supply for UMN smallsat ground support equipment, but my design is the bridge rectifier -> capacitors -> voltage regulators -> more capacitors type. The previous module was a switch mode power supply which somebody had bought off the shelf. While we are going with something along the lines of what I designed, but it is very helpful understanding more about the switching types of power supplies. Who knows maybe we will change our mind and I will make one of those. Thanks for the info! Usually I come to you for DIY synth stuff hah

Very good explanation of one of the “mysteries” of electronics - AC to DC switching power supplies! A few comments/suggestions: 1) You forgot to show the “AC side” GND symbol/connection to the “-“ side of the bridge. This is typically designated with a different and unique GND symbol to signify that it is DIFFERENT than the GND potential on the “DC side”. 2. The “DC Side” GND symbol should be unique and distinct from the AC side GND. They should NEVER be connected together. 3. You should highlight the main reason for both the transformer and optoisolator is to create a galvanic isolation between the AC and DC sides of the circuit to prevent stray currents, emi noise and, to safely separate and isolate the high voltage AC and rectified DC from the low voltage DC side of the circuit. 4. Finally, perhaps a mention should be given for connecting an oscilloscope to this circuit..esp the AC side and how this should be done with a high voltage differential probe or a battery powered scope that can handle high voltages. And finally, 5. SAFETY FIRST when working with high voltage AC or DC circuits. Preferably use an isolation transformer and a VARIAC. Final note: Y” caps failure mode is “open” and “X” caps fail shorted..which would cause the AC line fuse to blow. These caps control and minimize the common mode voltages and currents.

@awm0121 25 дней назад

Good input! Just randomly came across this video and thought it would be a good refresher for me. A few questions that I didn't see answered in the video that maybe you can help. 1 - I was especially hoping to see more about the grounds. You mention to never connect dc side and ac grounds together. In the schematic shown in the video, the dc output has a floating ground reference. Couldn't this cause issues when connecting to devices that are earth referenced? What's the proper strategy around having an earth-referenced ground output on the dc side? 2 - Galvanic action due to two dissimilar metals being in contact with each other, correct? Is that really what it's protecting against? I've seen this mentioned before, and I have always wondered why it is actually called galvanic?

@ats89117 3 года назад

Great video! The Class Y capacitor is the correct choice for inter-transformer windings applications like the one you were looking at. X capacitors are used to prevent fires. Y capacitors are used to prevent shock. Y capacitors are more expensive, so it's common to see X capacitors where you need Y, but less common to see the reverse (unless the capacitor is rated for both, which is very common).

Hi, well done instructional video although with small inaccuracies in the description of the voltage conversion on the transformer - it is not AC, but modulated DC (creating an AC inverter with a sine wave is difficult). Well, now to the question of why capacitors "X" are used somewhere and "Y" somewhere - it's for safety reasons - that's why the design is also different, these capacitors work mostly in high voltage circuits and if they fail, there could be damage, or unpleasant accidents. X and Y contain not only how the capacitor will behave in case of failure, but each of the types must meet different safety requirements - these are marked with a number after a letter - for example X1 or Y3: The X-marked capacitor must be cut in case of fatal failure Conversely, the capacitor marked Y must not be interrupted There are also capacitors marked XY - they must meet the safety protocols of both classes. Due to the different design, they also behave differently in the circuit, thanks to the design, capacitors X can be used as a voltage reducer in AC voltage circuits, where thanks to the capacitive reactance, the voltage will be reduced almost without the power limitation that would have to be taken into account when limiting the voltage using resistors . Nice day 🙂 Tom

@tze-ven Год назад

That Y-capacitor is unlikely connected as in your schematic as it would make the EMI worse. It probably be connected from the secondary GND to primary GND instead. Connecting the ~2nF capacitor the way you drew will give quite a good shock to an unsuspecting user touching any part of the secondary side if the secondary GND is left floating.

@Deno-technologies3081 2 месяца назад

The Y-cap is to isolate the primary from the secondary. Though, it has to connected such that one terminal to the Secondary GND and the other to the +ve primary.

@RodHartzell Год назад

If you have AC line voltage it seems silly to rectify it first then turn it back to ac before stepping it down. Why not just step it down directly from the line voltage without the intermediate rectification? I know this is a 2 year old video so, probably won't get an answer, but I am curious. I 100% appreciate the way you just broke it all down and drew the circuit and explained every detail. Fascinating. You might just be my new favorite YT channel.

@IMSAIGuy Год назад

requires very large transformer. switching supplies are smaller and more efficient.

@fo76 10 месяцев назад

@@IMSAIGuyWhy do you need a larger transformer to make 12V AC out of 120V AC than making 16V pulse modulated DC out of 164 V pulse modulated DC? Also, why is the output of the rectifier 164V DC, when the input is 120V AC? Im just beginning to learn electronics, so please excuse my dumb questions... 😊 Great video, by the way - love your channel! Keep up the great work!!

@jvk-pj8jr 10 месяцев назад

@@fo76 The line voltage is 60 Hz. In this switch mode design the DC is switched at more than 1000 times that. Transformers at low frequencies require a lot of iron which makes them big and heavy. Even 50 Hz transformers are significantly bigger and heavier than their 60 Hz equivalents. That is one reason why aircraft use 400 Hz AC rather than 50/60 Hz.

@d614gakadoug9 9 месяцев назад

@@fo76 They certainly are not dumb questions. When no load is connected to a transformer the primary winding just looks like an inductor. With sinusoidal AC applied to the winding there will be magnetic field at the same frequency created. In an ideal inductor the voltage and current will be out of phase and the power will be zero, even if the current is high. But there is resistance in the primary winding, so you want to keep that current quite low so you don't waste power according to I²R in the resistance of the winding. That means you must make the inductive reactance quite large to make that "magnetizing current" quite small (the reactance of an inductor is 2 • pi • f • L, where f is the frequency in hertz and L is the inductance in henries and the reactance in ohms) At AC mains frequency (50 or 60 Hz, depending on where you live) that means you need quite a lot of inductance. That translates to lots of turns of wire and/or a large iron core. The inductance is proportional to the square of the number of turns. When the secondary winding is connected to a load, current that is in phase with the primary voltage begins to flow in both the primary and secondary winding. The current in the secondary "cancels" the current in the primary, so there is no change in that magnetizing current we had before. But the primary and secondary currents are now determined by the load connected to the secondary and the turns ratio of primary to secondary. We have to use wire that is large enough to carry the current without getting too hot. It's hard to get the heat of the winding of a transformer, so the wire is much bigger than we'd use if it were just a single conductor in free air for the same current. We already knew how many turns we'd need, so now we more or less multiply that by the cross sectional area of wire to get the total cross sectional area of each of the windings. We have to be able to fit that into the area available in the "window" of the core. If we need lots of turns of heavy wire, we need a big core with a big window to be able to fit the windings. The bigger core MAY change the inductance of the primary, so we may use an iterative approach to arrive at the best combination of core, wire size and turns. Usually we check some published tables that give us a good starting point, though. If you raise the frequency, you can get tolerable magnetizing current with far fewer turns of wire. That means you can use a smaller core.The core material must be different at high frequency because some energy is lost in the core material itself. "Hysteresis" and "eddy current" losses are the big players, but that's a topic unto itself. At line frequency "silicon steel" is the usual core material. For switch mode power supplies the usual core material is ferrite - a ceramic made mostly of iron oxide. There are many formulations of ferrites. Most companies that make ferrite cores will offer three or four that are suitable for switchers, each with somewhat different properties. As for 164volts - AC line voltage is specified as RMS - Root Mean Square. If you divide a whole AC cycle into tiny time increments, take the instantaneous voltage in each of those intervals, square it, calculate the mean (average) of all those squares and take the square root of the mean you get the RMS voltage. AC mains is a sinewave. The peak (from zero) of a sine wave is 1.414 (square root of 2) times the RMS value of the sinewave. So 120 VAC gives you 120 x 1.414 = 170 at the peak. When there is no load, the input filter capacitors charge up to the peak voltage. (RMS is used because heating (power) in a resistor is equal to the RMS voltage squared divide by the resistance, just as with DC the power is the voltage squared divided by the resistance).

You at least partially answered my question regarding that blue capacitor across primary and secondary windings. I have a power supply which has a significant AC signal on the secondary output side in the 60 Hz range. When I remove that strange blue capacitor with AC signal on the secondary disappears interestingly enough. So I remain a little baffled maybe you had more information regarding the so-called Y capacitor. Ethan

A very accurate model to describe the TL431 is a non-inverting op amp with its negative lead connected to a 2.5V reference. Using two feedback resistors like you do for any non-inverting op amp, you can multiply the output voltage to create Vout = Vref * (1+ R2/R1) where Vref = 2.5V and R1/R2 are the two feedback resistors. The only difference is that the TL431 can only sink current; it cannot source it. Easy peasy! Rumor has it that the incorporation of the TL431 in the original Apple ][ switching power supply circuitry led to the TL431 being the world's most popular integrated circuit. Prior to the Apple ][, most personal computer power supplies were big bulky linears. The ]['s power supply was tiny and light in comparison.

@argcargv 3 года назад

The description of the pulsed DC as AC is a bit of a misnomer that could be confusing as this pulsed DC has a DC bias, it does not change polarity or alternate. For this reason there are several aspects of the description that don't match AC power supply designs. For example, the windings on the transformer don't need to meet any 10:1 ratio like an AC stepdown transformer, although it often approximately does. The transformer is "charged up" when the switch is on and "discharged" when the switch is on. The transformer is not transforming current, when the switch is off the energy has no place to go but out the output diode and the voltage will rise to whatever value it needs to to exit the circuit. The windings do play a role in each side in determining the voltage when the switch is on (for the diode breakdown voltage) or when the diode is conducting (for the breakdown voltage of the mosfet switch).

@paulcohen1555 3 года назад

@erikvincent5846 Год назад

Fantastic video. If one were to build their own version of this, when sourcing the transformer, what things should one look for? We know it needs to handle a certain amount of current and that it needs a 10:1 ratio to step down, but are there any other things to look for?

A couple things that perhaps were already addressed in previous comments: You used same symbol for two different sets of ground. There's a ground on the high voltage side, and a different ground on the low voltage side, which the two sides should not be tied together. Also for the high voltage side, you're missing your ground source reference.
