    AC Overvoltage

    What's the maximum continuously voltage a quality PSU, with APFC can take? I mean, the PSU manufactures usually states that they can handle +/- 10% of the nominal input voltage - 100-240V - which would translate into 90-264V.

    Well, an UPS is supposed to protect the PSU against under and overvoltage so, If 264V is the maximum safe figure for PSUs, why APC allows 288-294V on one of their UPS models before transfer to battery? The unit I'm talking about:

    http://www.apcc.com/resource/include...sku=BR1500LCDI

    This information is in the manual and it also allows the user to select 300V before transfering to battery power.

    This UPS has only boost mode voltage regulation which means it will only compensate for low voltages.

    Is it safe allowing 294V, by default in this UPS, reach your PSU?

    iMac A1418 - No LED, no power after overvoltage on Ethernet port
    by ryogadan78
    Hi guys, I need your help again.
    I have this iMac from a customer that shut down during a storm along with all the other devices in the house. In particular, the router, connected via Ethernet to the iMac, caught fire.
    When I removed the screen from the iMac to check the status of the LEDs, I noticed that none of them were lit. I had a perfectly compatible and working power supply, so I tried it right away, but the problem remained the same (no LEDs). With the thermal camera, I noticed only a slight warming (32 degrees) of the NCP1605BG chip on the power supply. The rest was completely...

    Overvoltage - Hitech HR-TV10i
    by Usuario_X
    Hello everyone!, I have a 10" Hitech brand portable TV, model HR-TV10i, which by mistake was connected to a 19 V source instead of 5 V (used a different charger by mistake), there is a component in one voltage area that is damaged, it is a 6-pin DIP chip:



    Here is a photo of the complete mainboard:



    Thanks in advance for any help!...

    Problem in hood board after overvoltage
    by Wolf1977
    hello everyone on the hood board had broken the power line and the varistor I changed them It lights up normally but has three speeds for the motor and an output for a 220 volt alternating lamp which are driven each by a triac T405Q and had a resistor 102 1000ohm pov were burnt I replaced them I put load the coil of a 220 volt relay but nothing works no output from 4 meters with base the negative pole of 5 volts I measure based on the negative pole of 5 volts at the edge of the resistor from the output of the microcontroller and extension to the gate of the triac but apparently the triac does...

    Sharp (Hisense) LC-55p6050u - Flashing/dimming row of pixels
    by DrvLikHell
    Hello again! I have come back for some wisdom and hopefully for some guidance with this problem I'm having. The TV is a 4k 55" Sharp LC-55p6050u and the problem is every other line of the bottom 32 lines flickers out, comes mostly back, then flickers out again, and repeats this continually. The lines on the bottom right of the screen go out completely while the lines on the bottom left are affected so slightly that it's almost impossible to see it. There is a gradual gradient from appearing almost perfectly fine on the bottom left, to an obvious problem on the bottom right.

    The...

    Sentey ATX PSU - ERP650-PS - Trying to find out the right Standby IC
    by temyth
    Greetings! I have this ERP650-PS atx power supply, it is a relatively simple psu, the primary has a driver IC that controls the two main mosfets (two 20n60S5), together with a Classic Standby circuit with a PWM IC (not a FET like the VIper22A) , relatively similar to the SDC606P.

    The whole point is that I got this power supply years ago when I had no knowledge, apparently the PWM IC was burned because someone turned the power supply on with the switch at 110v in a 220v network (classic error). Important detail: the power supply at the time came without the primary capacitors.
