Hey guys. I don't have much experience with primary side of SMPS circuit. Most faults I get are on the secondary side. When testing AC on the SMPS primary side, do I use the negative leg of the filter cap for ground. I am testing the 120VAC to see where I lose it, since its not getting to the bridge rectifier. I don't have a schematic.

Re: Testing AC on SMPS
You need to test the ACV BETWEEN the two ~ pins of the Bridge rectifier with ACV meter to find out if the incoming AC reach the Bridge rectifier ~ pins or not, the Negative legs of the main filter cap is the GND ref of the primary side circuit which is AFTER the bridge rectifier (+/- OUTPUT of the bridge).
Show us the pictures of top and bottom side of the board so we can see the path of the incoming AC.Last edited by budm; 09-01-2016, 12:58 PM.Never stop learning

Re: Testing AC on SMPS
I got 0V when measuring the two middle pins on the bridge rectifier. I checked the rectifier on diode test and it measured ok. I am also trying to draw a schematic for the AC side just to help.
Here are pics of the top and bottom of the board, the AC side.

Re: Testing AC on SMPS
Can we see the straight shot pictures of the whole Top and Bottom side of the board? The AC to the ~ of the bridge may being fed through the relay but I cannot tell until I see the pictures of the whole board.
What is the make and model of this board?
I assume you already test the fuses.Never stop learning

Re: Testing AC on SMPS
did you check that fuse? Everything in front of the bridge rectifier is AC.
We need straight shot, high resolution pictures, front and back of the board.Comment

Re: Testing AC on SMPS
yup I tested the fuse. The TV model is Samsung PN51D550C1FXZC. I can't take decent pics with my camera so SJ link below.
Board part number is bn44-00444A.---

Re: Testing AC on SMPS
As you can see from the trace on the bottom side of the board, the AC goes through the power relay contacts to the ~ of the bridge, so if the power relay is not on then you will not get AC at the ~ pins of the bridge.

Hi all, a newby question about a bridge rectifier I'm trying to identify.
I'm in the midst of reparing a battery charger in work which went pop, The bridge rectifier has shorted and took out a couple of other components. The rectifier in question has a part number KPB305G, and it looks like it's obsolete. Does any one know what I could replace it with?... -
This one should make @Pentium4 smile
(if he is still reading BCN forums) – I got a new old stock / open box Casing Power MPT-301 PSU on eBay for $4 total. 
Yes, it’s a very generic-looking box, but the manufacturer isn’t (at least not back in the days), which is…
Macron Power Technology Co. LTD.
Let’s look at the PSU itself.
The shell/case also appears quite generic, like many “sold-with-the-PC-case” units. However, the shell is well-formed and has decent steel thickness. In terms of... -
Hello everyone, I'm trying to fix what seems to be a half-bridge smps.
The switching controller is sg2525a, which I have replaced with a brand new sg3525a. The low and high mosfets are 1c27ac 6n50. The mosfet driver is IRS2301S.
Both mosfets were tested outside circuit with a component tester and seem to be fine.
With oscilloscope I see ~65khz switching signal on both low and high outputs of the controller, but on the output of the mosfet driver there is switchig signal only on the low output (flat line on the high output).
So I guess the mosfet driver is faulty?

For today's thread, I have a KingWin ABT-650MM ATX PSU. Official web page with the PSU specs is still up and can be found here:
http://www.rmac.kingwin.com/products.../abt_650MM.asp
I just can't help it when I see a broken / for parts PSU on eBay that's listed for cheap and looks at least somewhat interesting. Well, OK, I won't lie – on the outside, this PSU looks anything but interesting. It's a plain gray box with colorful “spaghetti cables”.
What mostly drew me into buying it is its 2x PCI-E power connectors... -
Back in 2020 i bought a (2nd hand) compact ATX psu to replace my current one. My PC case only fits very short ATX power supplies so i didn't really have the choice of buying a decent 80Plus unit. The current unit is a modded YoungYear unit that i made a thread about a while ago:
A "nice" YoungYear unit? - Badcaps
The "new" unit is a KDM-M6480 480W psu, the 480W number is a typical KDM bullshit claim of course, but the 24A rating on the 12V rail seemed reasonable and the "Active PFC" claim gave me a bit of hope that this was going to be decent-ish....
