Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) Repair Training
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) Repair Training course offered by Online Training NG.
Introduction to Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS).
An SMPS is an electronic circuit designed to transform voltage from one level to another, typically converting AC mains power into regulated DC voltages required for electronic equipment. Since the early 1980s, SMPS units have become the industry standard due to several key benefits:
- Smaller size and lighter weight compared to traditional linear power supplies.
- High efficiency and reduced heat generation.
- Better regulation and a wide range of AC input compatibility.
- Low production costs.
Common Applications.
SMPS technology is ubiquitous in modern electronics to reduce cost and weight. You will find them in:
- Consumer Electronics: TVs, Monitors, DVD players, and portable CD players.
- Computing: PCs, laptops, printers, and fax machines.
- Mobile Devices: Mobile chargers and camcorder power packs.
- Industrial & Automotive: Microelectronics-based devices and various industrial applications.
The Training Curriculum.
This training program is divided into specialized lessons designed to take a student from beginner to professional level.
Lesson 1: Fundamentals and Components.
Students learn to identify electronic components in various SMPS types using photos and schematic diagrams. This course covers the 11 core circuit functions, including:
- Input Protection and EMI Filtering.
- Bridge, Start-Up, and Oscillator Circuits.
- Secondary Output Voltage and Sampling.
- Error Detection, Feedback, and Protection.
- Standby and Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits.
Lesson 2: Troubleshooting Techniques.
This module focuses on the practical "secrets" of repair. It identifies the six common problems found in SMPS: No power, low output voltage, high output voltage, power cycling (pulsating), power shutdown, and intermittent power issues. Students are also taught five specific troubleshooting methods:
- Blue Ring Tester Method.
- Flickering Method.
- Resistance Test Method.
- Isolation Method.
- Secondary Diode Removal Method.
Lesson 3 & 4: Practical Case Histories.
This training includes "True Case Histories" to provide real-world context and a dedicated section on Troubleshooting and Repairing ATX Power Supplies.
Lesson 5: Professional Resources.
The final module covers a glossary of power supply terms and concluding professional advice.
Essential Tools and Safety.
Successful repair requires specific test equipment, which this course details. Recommended tools include Isolation Transformers, Variable Transformers (Variacs), Digital and Analog Multimeters, Blue ESR Meters, Blue Ring Testers, and Oscilloscopes. This course also emphasizes safety, including the proper way to discharge the main capacitor and how to use the "series light bulb trick" to safely test circuits.
Training Format and Enrollment.
This training is designed to be accessible from home or the office. Materials are provided in an electronic version compatible with Android, iPhone, iPad, and PC systems. The learning experience includes:
- Step-by-step practical training videos and audio.
- One-on-one live training via WhatsApp.
- A certificate upon successful completion.
