Large Switched DC Power Supply For Argon Laser Log 5 – Cabinet
Work continues on the cabinet for the large switch mode power suppy (SMPS) for the big argon laser I’m working on. In the last couple of weeks since my last post I’ve done a lot of work in getting the old HP cabinet cleaned up, painted and new equipment installed. This is a mega-update for […]

Large Switched DC Power Supply For Argon Laser Project Log 4
Wow, things have been going pretty good with this SMPS project. A lot of things are moving forward. I picked up a cabinet that I can use to house the power supply. I also received the 3 printed circuit board designs back from OSH Park this week and started building the PWM controller, drivers and primary […]

Web Based Circuit Simulation
I’ve been working on a project lately which involves building a large switch mode power supply in the range of 220 volts at 35 amps. Because components are expensive at those power levels I decided to go searching for a simulator that was easy to get started with, offered the basic components I needed and […]
