    17PW15-8 blows fuses after lightning

    Hello,
    I picked this PSU 17PW15-8 from a friend's TV with a burnt fuse, after some days of rain and lightning strikes. The TV was on standby when it happened.
    With new fuses it burns them as well. I checked bridge rectifier, all the TO220 components, diodes and basic caps, replaced IC806 SMPS, and FETS driving the big transformer. I also isolated the secondary circuit by cutting the rails of the FETs to the primary coils. I don't know even know if that makes sense, but I did in hopes to isolate the problem.
    Any ideas what to look for?

    You can try removing the bridge rectifier to see if the problem is before or after it. If it blows a fuse with it out, then you know the problem is before bridge rectifier.
    If it turns out to be before the bridge rectifier, I suggest checking R801 and the class X and Y caps in the filter section.
    Do you have the schematic?

      Hi, The IC806 IC is driving the standby supply, you should also check IC807 driving the other supplies MOSFET Q313 and Q314 that may be shorting

          I have never found IC806 to be a failure and don't know why you replaced that? Anyway look at the circled components and check they haven't shorted as these mosfets can fail on this psu.

            Sorry guys, I rushed a little bit too fast. It was the bridge rectifier afterall... I missed checking between + and 2nd leg. So problem solved.
            Still thanks for the answers

              Power supply for main amp blows fuses after replacing filter caps.
              by acedogblast
              Hello I have a Marantz sr5012 that I have been repairing. After I have replaced the 2 main filter caps the 2 fuses for the power amplifier blows. The original capacitors are ELNA LAO 10,000uF 71V and the replacements are Nichicon LKS 10,000uF 80V.
              I assume a short circuit connection has occurred so I set my multimeter to measure ohms across the 2 fuse connections and both read 55 Kilo-ohms so I assume that is ok.

              I am certain that I do not have any bridges on my soldering and after probing around I do find a temporary 0 ohm reading when probing across the positive and negative...

              Samsung UN65KU6290F PS board blows fuses
              by valvashon
              Samsung UN65KU6290F (May 2017); received from local Buy Nothing group. Was listed as "just went dead" and they wanted it gone. I brought it home, didn't notice anything visually wrong with the power supply board, looked up the cost of a new one and that's about as far as it went. Family was tired of tripping on the foot of the set so I decided to dig in and repair or toss.

              Can't believe that I didn't check it earlier but I found the main 8 amp fuse blown. Jumped across it with a 10 amp blade style fuse and you can see that it literally exploded inside the second I plugged...

              HH Scott Model A510 Stereo Integrated Amplifier/ Graphic EQ - Blowing fuses in the LEFT speaker channel only. Any Help???
              by Sik_6ty_Sixx
              So like the title says, I have an old Stereo Receiver/Amplifier that I picked up from the goodwill, it's a HH Scott Model A510. When I first got it home it had zero output. Opened it up, notice the fuses are missing. Pop in 2 new fuses (AGC4A 250V) and try again, within 5 seconds the L channel fuse POP! I don't see any visible indications of damage or arc burns on the PCB, no popped resistors or diodes, no burnt traces or blown out caps. So I decide to just try another new fuse, POP. Swapped around my R and L speaker wires, and checked the integrity of all wires and connections. Everything looks...

              How an incandescent light and a ESR meter ** friend**have a machine blowing fuses
              by sam_sam_sam
              About a month ago we had a transformer jumper wire that burned in two different places between two transformers caused over $200 thousand dollars worth of damage to VFD drives at least 10 of them and a memory card and quite a few power supply as well

              Now we have most of the equipment that got damaged back up and running except a feeder that has issues and we are waiting for some parts for

              Now we also have another piece of equipment that was blowing fuses on the 110 volt controller switch circuit with the ā€œEā€ stops and one switching power (24 volt) supply and a transformer...
