AGAIN

Switching power supplies deals with High Voltage 340VDC and that voltage is lethal. And its enough to Kill You, DEATH IS PERMANENT. Read Carefully, Follow the safety Procedures.

www.diysmps.comweb site, owners of site, moderators, or any user, are not responsible for your mistakes in any way whatever so. Either making any SMPS found at www.diysmps.com I am writing these warning, because I had blown many Mosfets & IGBTs during my SMPS research and development, Even I had fire coming out from one IGBT once, Fireworks you can say, The SMPS dont joke when they blew. So thats it. On the other hand, Following the procedures, it will guide you to a working SMPS. AbovewarningsappliestoanySMPS. ****GoodLuckforAll****
