Re: Switched Mode Power Supplies
Is there any way to get information on the ferrite cores that I'd salvage from ex PC PSU's? most of which are unmarked.
I've found that generous use of a heat gun (and gloves) allows one to dismantle them neatly and save core, former and wire for re-use but there will come a point in my experimentation where the ferrite (or dust iron?) will become an issue for me - or not?
Although my initial thoughts were aimed at the larger cores, I do have a number of much smaller ones that were used in the standby supply circuitry which may be a better place to start experimenting by limiting the actual power levels achievable whilst still getting me the experience I need.
