Guys still need some help here I installed the Viper22A and a 2 amp fuse still no love.
It appears this charging circuit failure is common with this particular model of Cyberpower UPS.
Wondering what else is involved in this charging circuit any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks to all who helped me out with this particular problem. Another item has been save from the landfill. I finally got a fuse and rewound and re-wrapped the auto-transformer.Leave a comment:

The Repair Association via ActionNetwork.org
Hi all,
I just signed a petition telling Federal Trade Commission (FTC): People just want to fix their stuff!
We are calling on the FTC to take real action to protect your right to repair. They're listening, but we have to act now.
Can you join me and take action? Click here: [URL]https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-the-ftc-people-just-want-to-fix-their-stuff-2?source=email&&[/URL]
Thanks!
P.S. I just cut and pasted their generic statement for sharing this petition and I did sign.
Have a nice day all.Hi... -
Thanks Per Hannson, appreciate the feed back. -
Thanks for that, I noticed its metal PCB board, first I saw that. But your right someone is making big money on these lamps and price has gone up I was shocked. -
Hi stj, I have recently put some thought into looking for that kind of voltage range (as not everything blew) that is, I have never ever experienced a surge like this, but this province I live in now is way behind.
Maybe you can do up some buying/purchase guide for cheap but good stuff with 100-260vac voltage range, I would read that. Right now I am in market for a decent UPS, at cheap price, thanks.Last edited by Bubbsy 2002; 01-05-2024, 10:22 AM. -
Hi all, as for what [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/member/424-per-hansson"]Per Hansson[/URL] has said in earlier post, I connected a light bulb across FR1 (blown). and it did not light up. The C3 appears to to give me a reading in ohms .441 and reversed .414 I am thinking its still good, but could be wrong.
Looks like more components failed, then FR1 blew.
Thanks for your time all, this one is going in the garbage!Hi all, as for what [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/member/424-per-hansson"]Per Hansson[/URL] has said in earlier post, I connected a light bulb across FR1Leave a comment:

Hi again, I tested the varistor its open circuit at that point RV1, and I noticed FR1 after I posted I am going to check it soon (FR1 is a fuse/resistor correct?). -
Thanks for your feedback really appreciate that. -
As I have said to Per Hansson, already done my friend, thanks. -
HI, thanks for your response the event took place November 19, NLPower refused responsibility on two counts 1) they blamed the weather 2)They blame the customer for not calling before event, go figure (I have to do their preventative maintenance?). Anyways Insurance is involved and I am not complaining just having fun fixing what is broken, have a nice day. -
Halo 5 inch and 6 inch White Integrated LED Recessed Downlight, destroyed by 180v power surger (Newfoundland Power Company).
Hi all, I am on a 100% diagnostic spree and need some more assistance.
I have looked at the board of this poor light and it appears I have an fuse/resistor combo.
I have isolated what I believe are RV1 (destroyed by the surge) and you can see RV2, so I am assuming they are same or similar.
Can you tell me what the name of the component, amperage/resistance, so I can order from DigiKey?
And now I noticed the light went up $10 Canadian, to $46.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.... -
Finally found that fuse, thanks all. Took me an hour to dismantle and unwind hopefully I can reuse the wire.Leave a comment:

CapLeaker, thank you for that. I watched a few Indians on Youtube unwrapping transformers and this one is complex compared to what I watched. -
Thanks again, RV1 looks like another resistor, it has PK on it and has some measurement (I got a .524 kohms). If you look at the word FAILSAFE it looks like it is not installed with this particular smoke detector. Forgot to mention they both light up and I believe the test function works, but when I put smoke to them no alarm! -
Kiddie smoke alarm (120v with 9v battery backup) experienced 180v power surge (Newfoundland Power company).
Hi to all, I was diagnosing 2 smoke detectors that experienced power surge. I opened one up and found a weird fuse/resistor, which now has open circuit. I can't find this part.

Here is picture of opened transformer....

Yes, I had no power to control board (board has fuse not blown, parts look good), so I am suspecting autotransformer is the problem. I am attaching a picture of transformer with shell off (wondering where fuse my be lurking). -
I knew that, thank you. -
Thanks for that, take care. Would happen to know where I can find the part, I just looked at Digikey they don't have this company name?Last edited by Bubbsy 2002; 01-02-2024, 05:40 AM.
