In switch mode power supplies (SMPS) the chopper transformer plays a major role. A transformer is built from two magnetically coupled inductors on a magnetic core. Therefore, in a simple approximation here we look at the behavior and functionality of a single inductor in an electronic circuit. Furthermore, buck and boost DC/DC converters use simple coils instead of transformers.
The most important detail what we need to understand, is that an inductor is a passive electromagnetic device, where electric and magnetic energy is being temporarily accumulated, and these two different types of energy are being transformed from one to an other. To understand the concepts behind energy transformation and conservation, in the first I show similar concepts on a simple mechanical spring, where it is more straightforward to visually see and follow these concepts in action.
In the case of a mechanical spring, external mechanical energy is first being transformed into elastic/deformation energy, and later this will be transformed back again into mechanical energy.
For comparison, in an inductor an external electronic energy (current) will be transformed into magnetic energy, thereby magnetizing the inductor. Later this magnetic energy will be transformed back into electric energy though electromagnetic induction, and the core is demagnetized.
In this video we cover the basics of the magnetic field lines, and the mechanical shape/construction of an inductor. Some simple experiments are done on a spring and on the inductor, making it into an electromagnet. We look at the properties of the toroidal vs rod type solenoid inductors. In SMPSs the toroid inductors are used most frequently because they provide low stray magnetic field, and high electric/magnetic energy conversion efficiency. The usage of inductors as DC chokes is also being covered together with the electromagnetic noise.
The ferromagnetic nature of the magnetic core is also explained, without going into any detail, and especially without discussing at all the Maxwell's equations (like the Lorentz force, or the Biot-Savart law). This is because in these videos I am trying to grasp the basic ideas for every hobbies, and not everybody likes deep mathematics. In fact, for repair purposes knowing these laws is not even necessary.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Finally I had time to upload the next episode, related to linear power regulation. It is not my best video due to the "boring" topic. Still, this linear regulators are used to generate reference voltages in every powers supply, making them an important topic. When you got time on your hand, just watch the new video, and let me know what you think.

Thanks for your kind comment. I must tell you that I have learned this way of explanation through simple examples from my Indian colleagues while I was studying.

Hello, Frederick from United States here... I also find your lecturing to be the most on point on this topic. If I were to offer one point of advice it is to stay on the linear trajectory of how the device will function in simplest terms rather than adding in all the bus stops into complications necessary for each design-methodology. For the most part you are using this method already, so I am only reminding you of what you are already aware of. Good work, rock on.

The use of the slide with a block diagram (which includes a picture of a common component for each block) and then showing the location of the same device on an actual circuit board, is absolutely perfect. SMPS are being used in EVERYTHING now--as you mentioned, even those tiny phone chargers.

Thanks for the feedback! I did the slides this way, so those people who are just starting out will also have a feeling of how do these devices look in real life. For example, you often see in videos people pointing at the common mode filter, and saying it is "transformer" when in fact it only just looks like a transformer.

Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it if you recommend the content to others. I must say, I could have done a more clear job on the inductor, and I am afraid that I made it a bit more complex than needed. Now after 7 videos I would probably do the discussion differently. Since KZbin does not allow to change videos after they are uploaded, I will try to be more clear in the new episodes.

Thanks for the reply, and I am happy that you find the way of presentation OK. To be honest, I am doing it in the way I have wished that it should have been presented for me when I was a student. However, based on some of the comments, I definitely need to dial back on theory, so I have removed all equations which I intended to put into the second video, though they were very basic (like law of induction etc.). I can just quickly explain those without any math as well.

Your videos are very useful but I have an important constructive critic to make: the mechanical analog of an inductor is a mass (hence the inertial effect) and not a spring, which is actually the mechanical analog of a capacitor. Think of it as a car which is going to oppose to the force you apply to move it but once it’s moving it will conserve the energy as inertia.

Now looking back to my university studies which was almost 20 years ago, I do not remember the math at all, but the practical knowledge is stuck in my head until this day.

When there are no signs, Then the person has to be able to identify whether there is power in and power out. If no power out, how do they trace to find the component which is not functioning. ? Well done.

Really enjoying these videos! My pc PSU is making a very slight buzzing/clicking noise, the power coming from it is not strong, and turns on and off once per second. I am having a very hard time determining what is wrong. I have a spare PSU and I would like to repair the faulty PSU with the part from my spare (also faulty PSU).

Thank you for the videos. For me the pacing is a bit too slow, I am already familiar with fundamentals as a graduate of a Physics University and looking forward to the practical aspects of designing and repairing a power supply. I kind of liked most the first episode.

Thanks for the constructive feedback. The issue is, that most people do not have any university education in electronics, and they would like to do it as either a hobby, or just on the level of a repair technician. As you see, this is a "Catch 22" situation, so I must go through first the basics. Otherwise I fully agree with your comment.

Thanks for you comment. I simply did not come so far to produce new videos in this series because I am so busy with my daily job. However, sooner or later I will put new videos up.

I think the explanations are great I just think you should say what the component does in a circuit before explaining how it works

Hi James. I originally intended this series to repair technicians who already have experience with basic repair, this is why I assumed that they will know how the components work. However, as it turned out later, it is not the case. I will produce a separate series, where I will cover the very basics of electronics, and how components work in a circuit.

It's very and good explanation about inductance but my question is how the magnet in the inductance use or help in the power circuit?

i THINK most people watching a video on how to repair swich mode power supplies are VERY WELL versed in the basics of electronics ... maybe skip over component descriptions if i were you??

You would be *surprised* on how many hobbyist try to repair SMPS without knowing much of the way they work. For pure repair I think there are good videos out there. To understand those, one of course must know already the basics. However, showing the whole idea before going into practical repair is what is missing for most beginners. This is why I am doing this series. Once I am done with the theory, I will switch over to practice as well.

well that's why I'm watching this - hoping for some good diagnostic tips about SMPS repair... I know NOTHING about them really- though I've watched lots of videos and done some reading but I have a pretty good and 'deep' understanding of individual components and what they do, etc. LInear supplies make MUCH more sense to me though... :P

the only problem is that you made SIX (6) videos on the topic - the last five of which describe the components but without ever actually talking about any practical repair ...!! :P

That is because without the basics there is absolutely no point on trying to go into practical repair. I can just exchange a FET, a driver IC and make a video out of it, and 80% of the people will not get it *why on earth* those parts were exchanged. It is like if you ever looked at Xbox repair. There were guys out there, who claimed the issue is with the position switch, since the switch emitted a rattling noise. However, these guys were not aware of even the very basics, and they did not know, that a gravitational switch has a ball in it, pure and simple. Many people watched those videos, and not knowing better, they spent time and money replacing components which had absolutely nothing to do with the real problem...

i always find the most useful such videos - the presenter will explain what they found in their diagnosis - and the conclusion they made and WHY etc ... at least in my opinion. in my own example I studied LCR circuits in high school but also was 'into' electronics when i was very young... so I have a pretty good basis for understanding the parts and how they are made - though for me switch mode power supplies are still pretty confusing - even if i understand all the theory about how they work ... i have a few defective SMPS units and still having a hard time diagnosing them ... :) linear power supplies are much easier :)

The main idea is to get to ATX power supplies, since those are worth to repair. However, first I was trying to show the basic principles which apply in any kind of switch mode PSU in general.

Yeah this was a key video for me comrade, since I have like 10 spare ATX style SMPSUs an no actual PSU for myself(poor) so this helped me in truly understanding how not just this powersupply worked and everything, but all SMPSUs, for future PSUs I make. Am looking forward to your recovery and the rest of your detailed videos. You are a great teacher .@@DonkeyLearningIT
