It's far less likely that a switcher will fail to overvoltage. The switching transistor(s) under stress, and most likely to fail, will just cause the supply to die, as you have observed. Still, I don't like entrusting the life of my K3 to one cheap resistor in the feedback loop. That comes of

I haven't experienced that a switched PS causes overvoltage. They usually just die! Bert VE3NR On 6/10/2019 11:12 AM, K9MA wrote: On 6/9/2019 23:16, Bert wrote: How would a switched PS take out a radio? Bert VE3NR Most likely due to overvoltage. Linear supplies are particularly
