    Flyback Ring Tester

    good day every one. i just build a flyback tester a couple days ago and functionally when i tested it, many thanks for Mr Humphrey and their site for a schematic. the picture below and i am not boxing it yet

    but i have a question.
    is there any chance that flybacktester to test secondary PSU transformer? i have looks around google and youtube, and find that it's impossible test secondary of transformer because the "ring" produced by secondary transformer really a small. anyone has it and tested it? and how to try secondary if possible? and how to make that device full function to test other's component if possible?

    Re: Flyback Ring Tester

    Post the SCH so we can see how it works. When you test the transformer using the ringer on the primary side (or secondary side), if the secondary has shorted turn, the ringing will be reduced which indicate bad transformer. You do not have to worry about testing the primary or secondary if the ringing is bad, then you have bad transformer. The shorted turn (in either side of the transformer) will cause the ringing to stop so the circuit cannot count how many rings the transformer produces.
    You can try this tester on variety of the transformers, then short out the other windings of the transformer to see what the result you will get, tester is more or less sensitive from each design. You just have to get use to what your tester is telling you.

      yeah. i have tested and sometimes the secondary doesn't make the led lit. so i just wanna know is that bad transformer or the secondary exactly couldn't tested by it. so i asking for someone's ever use it to give me clues. here the pdf sch that u can found at Mr Humprey site.

        Ring tester
        by tony359
        Hi all,

        I'd like to add a ring tester to my toolbox to test flybacks but also low frequency transformers if possible.

        I found a few products online, some based on the "diodegonewild" design, others are different designs. Some are available to build DIY, others are not.

        Any suggestions on a DIY one I could put together? Ideally something which would also be able to test low frequency transformers, that might be handy.

        So far I found these two:

        Looking for a flyback transformer for an Eizo TX-C7 MA-791 17" CRT
        by retrotechrestoration


        I just saved this magnificent RGB input Eizo Flexscan TX-C7 MA-791 from the local e-waste...good news, the tube works and the board looks great...the bad news, it sounds like the flyback is shorted. (Turns on...perfect picture...systemic high voltage crackling heard while the picture flickers...then it blows the 5A fuse in my isolated A/C power supply.)

        Anyone have any leads on possibly finding a replacement? (photo shows the flyback model numbers)​...

        Tektronix 422 with No Power
        by KYBOSH
        Picked up a Tektronix type 422 oscilloscope locally for a few bucks last year.
        It wouldnt power on at all so I stowed it away under my bench for later testing.
        Today I remembered it was down there and pulled it out to see what was what.

        I checked for continuity and everything checked out.
        There was a burned smell and a resistor was replaced with a temporary replacement (see yellow box in picture).
        The burned smell is very pungent/acidic and I am not familiar with these vintage electronics to know whether I am smelling the remains of the replaced resistor or...

        Is it possible for transformer substitution?
        by mikey5791
        Hi all,
        Got this local made DC power supply (12/14V) given free as the transformer has melted. There is no marking or indication to identify what type or rating of transformer used.
        Fyi,. I had a busted autogate mainboard with transformer with marking 13-0-13 . Is this the 13v dc type transformer?
        My questions are
        1. How do i test to see if the transformer is in good working condition?
        2. Can this transformer (marking 13-0-13) be used to replace the melted transformer on the DC power supply?
        Hope you guys understand what i was asking. My intention is...

        Original Xbox 1.0 PSU: Foxlink FTPS-0002 Rev. B. — 12 V low, 5 V high — transformer?
        by ohren
        Hello!

        I'm looking at an original Xbox PSU: Foxlink ftps-0002 rev. B. The 12 V output is too low, and the 5 V output is too (?) high. Unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope but only a DMM for diagnosis.

        Measured voltages with no load:

        After rectifier diodes
        12V: 6.17 V
        5V: 5.67 V

        Secondary transformer pins AC measurement (really don't know if this says anything)
        12V: 2-2.5 V
        5V: 1.04 V


        I also have another (working) Xbox psu from Delta. The same measures there, in order, being: 10.79,...
