Hi There. I was some busy with the smps, I have decided to use resonant version, one with current feedback so I have fast respons and still stability. Did go to 10 amps 65 x 65 who is more then enough, the smsps can do easely the music peaks who live short, and I do never play so loud, ears will be give up earlyer then the suppy. For the tubes a 100 watt (overkill) LCC resonant can do, (also for audio better) these can run very nicely also without a load, burst mode for llc is not what I want, the ripple get bad and I need clean amp because it is high end class hybrid. The question now, LCC resonance do need a transformer calculation, and in all papers she just talk about N this is coupled with tank calculations, never I see how high induction will be only AC who is the load max and min. I presume the smps transformer needs to have these reactante with max and min load valeu? I do not now if you did resonance stuff, for LLC I do have tools and can calculate for LCC not because it is a older system, but it is used for led,s because of the nice respons for that. regards

Hi Silvio. I've been watching this with a very big interest as I'm thinking of trying to build my own Boost Converter from 12V to 24V just to try it and is using this video as a tutorial, but I got some questions. What is Bmax? and how did you deside to go with the value 1200-2000? For the turns for both primary and secondary windings, why do you have more than one layer? how did you figure this number out? Wouldn't a full bridge topology be more efficient?
@supersilve7 жыл бұрын
Well there is a guide as for half bridge it all depends on what frequency is used. The higher the frequency the lower the B Max. For 33Khz a B Max of 1800 Guass is just right. if the frequency was lower say 25Khz I will have gone for 2000 Guass. B is the number of magnetic lines in the core. B max is the highest B according to the input voltage. Mains voltage fluctuates and goes up and down higher voltage brings more flux in the core according to the number of turns in the trafo. In your case the calculation for a boost converter using only one switching transistor is somewhat different. If it is as I said you will also be needing a gap in the center leg of the core. The larger the gap the lower the permeability of the core. That calculation I used in the video is suitable only for full bridge, half bridge and push pull topology. If there is more than one layer for a single voltage then coupling between windings will be lower but due to the high current needed it had to be like that otherwise it will not fit. I got more than a 1000 watts with half bridge with a suitable core. Check my 1000 watts smps on you tube. I hope that helps.

@joshnabours91022 жыл бұрын
Is the 1200 to 2000 gauss max flux range related to the material type? Where too low of a flux level for the material will mean you could have used a smaller size transformer for better size/weight efficiency? And likewise, more flux than that range will cause magnetic saturation of the ferrite core material as well as heavy power losses and risk of burning the magic smoke out of the transformer?
@supersilve2 жыл бұрын
Regarding flux density I always make some reverse engineering when extracting cores from ATX psu. I will calculate the switching frequency according to the chip used noticing the timing capacitor and resistor values. I will count the number of turns in the primary of the core. This will give me a good approximate of the flux used and also the core material. I will then adjust according to the new frequency used.

your chart is saying 0.6mm wire can handle only 0.92 amps, but for 350 watts you need atleast 2.25 amps at 155V primary, how is it possible...?
@supersilve7 жыл бұрын
You can calculate the amperage of wire from the area of the wire size for continuous rating you calculate the area of each wire at 4 amps per mm squared. If for example you have 0.5 mm dia wire you find the area 3.142 X 0.25 X 0.25 = 0.196 mm squared so 0.196 X 4 = 0.7 amps. if it is not for continuous rating you can multiply by 6 and even 8 if you have a fan blowing at the transformer. Normally for audio purposes it is multiplied by 6 as the load is not continuous when powering an amplifier for example. so 0.196 X 6 = 1.17 amps now dividing this with with the input current comes 2.25 / 1.17 = 1.92 wires so you use 2 wires side by side to wind your primary winding

@supersilve5 жыл бұрын
The wire gauge is selected according to the frequency of operation. This is due to the skin dept as current tend to travel on the outer part of the copper wire. The higher the frequency the thinner the wire should be. I just posted a link on the previous post for the copper wire table there you will find the maximum frequency for each wire gauge can handle . One also has to consider how the wires will fit in the bobbin. Remember that wire in a transformer cannot loose heat quickly due to it being warped on top of each other thus the current handling will be less. Usually 3 to 4amps per mm² for continuous rating and 6 to 7 amps per mm² for 50% duty cycle.

It all depend on the frequency used and the available window space to accomodate the copper wire according to the current involved in both primary and secondary. It also depend on typology used. Half, full and push pull use the 4 quadrants of the flux while a flyback only use 1 quadrant. The latter the core has to be larger to get the same power compared to half bridge for example.

If the input voltage to the power supply was between 100V and 240V will the nominal voltage be: 240V -100V = 140V, 140/2 = 70V giving 100+70V = 170V RMS, 170V x 1.414 = 240V DC peak nominal voltage. If using half-bridge topology 240V/2 = 120V, if using full-bridge topology will it be 240V DC?
@supersilve6 жыл бұрын
If the calculation for the primary turns had to be with a wide input voltage such as 100-240 then the calculation for the maximum input has to be considered or at least one has to calculate the maximum B at maximum voltage and see that this does not exceed limits otherwise there is a chance of saturation in the transformer. In return the secondary windings have to be calculated at the minimum input voltage so the desired output voltage can be maintained throughout all the input voltage range. Feedback is essential otherwise the output voltage will vary considerably. As far as half or full bridge it will be the same thing for calculation. Half bridge uses half rectified voltage full bridge uses the full voltage.

And how can I choose working frequency, how can we calculate or understand our atx smps working frequency? My transformer is ERL-35-2 what is the meaning ERL or 35 and 2 any idea? And I see you choose 33 khz, how? Why? How can you calculate 33 khz ? Or this is just a guess? For example why you don't choose 70 khz ? Thank you sir.

An ERL35 is a type of transformer core, for example the one in the video is an EI 33 but that does not concern you at the moment. What interest you is the center core area which is calculated by the radius squared multiplied by pie (3.142) This is how to calculate the area of a circle. The cross sectional area of ERL35 is 1.11cm^2. You did not say why you want to rewind the transformer and what are you going to use the smps for. You can use a frequency of up to around 100kHz if you want but do not go beyond that frequency as the core may not be intended to work at higher frequencies. With high frequency there will be more core losses. Not all transistors can handle such high frequencies and care must be taken as they tend to heat up quickly and blow. Mosfets are more suited for high frequency. This will all depend if you are going to use the same switching transistors or not. A mosfet cannot be driven with the same base drive transformer because the voltage and current is different from an NPN transistor. The wire diameter depend on the frequency of operation and the higher the frequency the thinner the wire will get due to skin effect. For up to 68Khz 0.5mm copper wire can be used. For 350w you have to use 2 wires x 0.5mm for the primary. ( if the smps is used for audio) If the frequency is lower say 50khz then 0.6mm can be used. I am assuming that the topology is half bridge. If you want to know approximately the operating frequency you need to download the datasheet of the IC in use and then check the value of the timing capacitor and resistor. You can work out the frequency by the formula details shown on the datasheet.

@@supersilve thank you for your nice answer, This is my Power Man and IP-P350AJ3-1 model number computer atx smps, and I can not determine this psu topology ! In high voltage side only one mosfet it is 11N90C and only 2 transformer one is big power transformer(ERL-35-2) other is small, I don't know topology.. I want to rewind because my transformer damaged before, I am sure my transformer is fault, As your answer maybe I rewind for 60 khz, but I think there must be some way or formul for calculating the working frequency with other circuit components(pwm ic or small capacitor and resistor ..etc)

@@TheWeftmen As you still have the transformer you can unwind it and count the turns and do it as it was. The thin winding is there to compensate for the switching spikes and probably is connected only at one end. The topology is probably flyback. For calculating flyback topology is more complicated and is beyond the scope of this video.

@@supersilve yes thin wire connected only at one end, I want to calculate seconder for 12 volt turns, 5 volt turns and 3.3 volt turns, how can I determine and calculate, I measure the transformer primer pins it shows 450 dc volt,

please make a video for push pull transformer winding for 12-0-12 or 24-0-24 to out put 220V AC any watts.
