Switchmode.png Switch mode supply requires:

  • Ch 9 p 630 - Switch and fuse needed at AC side
  • Also, a filter at AC side filters possible RF from power line, using a line voltage capacitor
  • Transient suppressor - a variable resistor - metal oxide varistor - shorts to ground for any high voltage spikes. It's like a high voltage, bidirectional zener diode.
  • Insulate line-voltage connections to prevent shock hazard
  • Storage capacitor - prevents ripple -
