    this came from an rv that was plugged into a outlet installed by a supposidly pro electrician.how often do pro's forget the neutral?

    killed the primary caps,bridge,and inrush limiter.

      Awesome carnage!

      Doesn't look like that bad of a PSU, but the primary caps aren't a good brand, and ofc they are blown now, so they need to be replaced.

      I laugh at how the fuse didnt even blow!

              Yamaha EMX 512SC - Bad Limiter?
              by honeybadger0
              I have a Yamaha EMX 512sc powered mixer that gets heavy use. Recently a new problem has arisen ... it seems like the L output is way more sensitive than the R and the limiter light for main L is flashing even at very low (below the 2 setting on the knob) levels.

              It seems to be across all channels and with different inputs. The speakers have been recently tested as well and do not seem to have any of their own issues.

              Has anyone else encountered this problem and could help me out?​

              Xilence XP600 600w ATX PSU - No PWM Controller on primary side - how does it work?
              by dicky96
              Hi guys
              I have a faulty Xilence ATX PSU here

              The fault basically is I have two short circuit power transistors on the primary side of the large SMPS transformer - they are 2SC3320.

              There is another smaller transistor on the primary side C3866 which tests ok

              The PSU has three transformers - it looks like the 2SC3320's drive the big one and the C3866 drives one of the small ones. There is a separate PFC PCB with it's own controller and MoSFETS

              There is also a short on the 3.3V output and a near short on 5V - I suspect this probably blew...

              Bulbs to avoid in current limiter
              by Fritter
              Hi all,
              Just putting my first current limiter together (uk). Apart from led's, are there any bulbs that will not function as needed? Any advice much appreciated.

              Internal images saved here have disappeared
              by randmusr
              Is there a time limit to when / how images uploaded to the internal server are governed?

              My uploads from around December last year are gone? Is badcaps forum going under?

              Could all new PC motherboards only require a primary 12V rail?
              by japlytic
              This is a possibility, but future PC motherboards could only require a single 12V primary rail with +3.3V/+5V (-12V is only required for PCI slots (and certain cards thereof) but not PCI Express slots) switching regulator circuitry (which is now quite compact for their high output) on the motherboard with SATA power output connectors on the motherboard.
              Most newer ATX (and related counterpart) power supplies over a certain wattage typically have a single primary rail of +12V which is then connected to independent +3.3V/+5V/-12V switching regulator modules; also, many hot swap server PSUs...
