Battery Charger Tripping
A charger for a 36volt Electric Bicycle is tripping audibly. The output
voltage with no load rises to only a fraction of the 36v between trips. Disconnecting the output winding of the switching transformer doesn't stop the tripping so the fault appears to be aound the TOP247Y IC or the associated transformer. Should I be an optimist and buy a new IC? TIA John |

TIA John have yo u measured diodes and resistors in the secondary stage s to check for shorts or hi-values? start with the simplest or cheapest things first! -B |

However, I think I have eliminateed the relatively large number of components on the secondary side by disconnecting the secondary winding. I also checked the feedback opto-coupler is not s/c. On the primary side there are only a few components likely to cause repetitive restart symptoms. My guess is: Trannsformer, IC, 2 series diodes across the primary winding. The diodes test OK on a simple meter test. There is no sign of any heat stressed component. John |
