In this video I will show you how I repaired my lab bench power supply which got damaged through a battery which I connected the wrong way around. Along the way I will show you different reverse voltage protection techniques and show you their advantages and disadvantages. This way you will hopefully never damage your lab bench power supply like I did.

so few seem to have seen this comment
Vodka + The smartest EE (electrical engineer) = *Bang!* [F--k! Sh--! What is this!? Ahh-F--k!]
so few saw it because the video was posted yesterday and only today he wrote a comment when the majority of the active subscribers have already watched the video
That power supply has the weirdest heatsink I've ever seen and I love it
It’s so cool!
BTW it’s common in other ELV LabPSUs as well :)
Xbox One heatsinks are kinda strange too lol
@@bretsutherlandsterriblemem8439 YOU BETCHER LIFESAVERS-!!!
Maybe the power supply gets hot quickly. So the big heat sink is used to make it cool. Why am I so nerd😂
@@ejezragaming2187 very clever observation
If Tesla hired Electroboom...
*car exploded*
"NO REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION, WHO DESIGN THIS SH*T?!"
This cmt should go for 100 of likes
At first I thought you meant Nikola Tesla and I was confused...
paundra0217 , Really very funny because I don't own an electric car!
Hi from 2021 Electroboom bought a Tesla
remember kids, don't drink and charge
I bet that happens much more than you'd think. Especially if you're flying drones with the boys, then want to open some cold ones.
Thanks, there will be a new EU law out next week now.
oooh harsh
Hahaha
And be careful where you discharge... and never in a public place.
Scott always impresses me with his soldering skills. Amazing as always.
is it just me or is that the coolest looking heatsink? (1:33)
It's either that or the most intense fleshlight...
Looks kinda mean. But also doesn't look very efficient, probably why it's an uncommon design, lol.
Jealuosy
It'd nice if you could run a high static pressure fan sealed on that.
It is indeed the coolest looking heatsink
Very good scott ! I recalled 10 years ago when I taught industrial technicians/engineers ElectroPneumatics .The new laymen/greenHorn always causing 24v 10A power supply burnt. When I open out the CE or Industrial Professional power supply : The fast blown fuse never burn but others components burnt. Later I change the Fastest-fuse.Yet the same history happening .The last resort are buying two diodes lm4002. Same situation occuring.Finally I had to use lm4007 diodes, each connected inseries with + terminal and -terminal respectively. Good luck ,for more than ten years nothing Power Supply will ever burnt occuring !
At first was thinking same video as many before but after watching you came to problem well known to me and as well finally someone who made video complete by showing right circuit at the end which will protect power supply on right way.
I see it was an easy repair this time, but I would love to see you reverse engineer things and general repair tips and tricks. Maybe this isn't your cup of tea, but if it is, it'd be very interesting. I got into electronics largely because I like transforming what other people see as waste, into useful resources again. I've spent many hundred hours in my garbage room, salvaging parts, working electronic gadgets and also repairing and giving away or selling cheap. Through your channel, I started building things from scratch, but I would also like to develop my repairing skills. So I'd love to see more of you, repairing things and describing the most common causes of modern electronic devices failing :)
Torgny Nordén I just fixed a cheap multimeter on video. It's so satisfying to repair trash.

You might throw in a warning to test this out with a lower current battery rather than a high current SLA battery. A 12V SLA battery can easily dump enough current to fry decent sized wires and start fires. Don't ask me how I know. Always use a fuse with such batteries.
Just made the same mistake and blew my small 30V DC-DC module. I will try this Reverse Voltage Protection method. Many thanks!
Your videos got me into this kinda thing and ended up convincing me to get a career in electrical engineering. Thank you
the circuit you found is a poor solution because after it is used once you have to remove the gate charge as the fet will stay conducting and when you try to hook a battery backwards it will be a short for a moment until the gate capacitance is discharged and the current can well exceed the maximum allowed by the fet. This generally will not fail right away but it does as I've built this exact circuit years ago for a charger we use at work and they fail about every 6 to 8 months. After an exhaustive look into the failure mechanism this is what I found. I measured sharp spikes in the 1000's amps using an irl60b216 once conducting and hooked up in reverse to a car battery
Inspite your explanation, I would still go for the reversed diode but added with a (reachable!) fuse. As in a good PSU design, the sensewires should be connected as close as possible to the load. The fuse can be quite overdimensioned compared to the PSU maximum current as the PSU has its own short circuit protection.
The same happened to my power supply, I wanted to charge a RC car race pack with 7.2 volts and the output of the supply was shorted. You and Electoboom helped me to repair it. The revers protection circuit in a labory power supply is like this, because it dont has any effect on the current and voltage output and vorsmall loads (inductive spikes, capacitors) this version is perfect. Its not made to protect against big current and voltages.
I have to respect someone who makes such clean schematics. Subscribed.
Wow. Very nice to see a new GreatScott video on Friday ^^ I actually destroied a power supply at work also by connecting a big 12V Lead acid battery the wrong way around. Should have used this circuit ^^ Thanks for the advice!

Thank you very much for the helpful tips on your channel.
GREAT video! It was a little tricky to understand why fuse kept blowing & mosfet kept conducting currents when reverse-battery-voltage was applied, but all in all, great!
I guess this topic belongs to #electroboom 😀
Lol...
If Tesla hired Electroboom...
*car exploded*
"Damn, I put the electrolyte capacitor in the wrong way!"
@@paundra-lw1up if Tesla hires electroboom he will electrify that factory's environment and that will be a shocking experience for all workers.
@@BharatMohanty LMAO
yea with SHUNT and FULL BRIDGE :)
Doesn't the cut-in voltage of the MOSFET limit the minimum voltage you can output from the power supply? It would seem to me that a virtual zener that drives a N channel MOSFET, via a proper driver chip, would be another solution with fewer drawbacks. N-channel MOSFETs tend to have a lower resistance too.
With this added information I’ll be making my own bench top power supply. Great video, thanks.
Really great vid to show the 'flaw' of the design of your power supply including a fix!
The best reverse polarity safety is a full wave rectifier.
*BRIDGE
FUULLLLLLLLL...
FOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BRIDGE RECTI-FIRE!
Although you might have issues with higher loads. I put reverse current protection diodes on an LED driver I build with a dual power supply to stop each supply trying to force current through the other supply in reverse and tried forcing 5A through it (current required by the LEDs). Despite being rated for 10A a LOT of smoke came out of them and they exceeded 100C by the time I'd noticed.
+ElectroBOOM FOOL BRIDGE REKTIFAIIA!
There are circuits that use a relay in line with the load. The coil is driven by a circuit that detects very low reverse voltage and opens the relay.
Finally. We'll be able to see what's inside after so many long years and countless videos in attendance.
I began watching you clueless to the technical side. Now with you and some other instruction I am beginning to grasp this
You mentioned electroboom finally 😍
No power supplies were harmed during the making of this video
Fuses is probably another story
Actually 1 power supply was repaired
Thank you for posting such an instructive and practical video on reverse voltage protection circuits !
Allways be safe use protection
hey that's such a coincidence. I did the same a week ago and now am able to repair mine as well, thanks a lot
And that's what "ideal diodes" are made of.
I don't know if its just me, but the whole video from start to finish seemed like it was running 10% faster then normal. Awesome video and thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Great video! I will have to add this to the power supply I plan to build.
From the beginning Hehe I knew that you got inspired by electro boom. My two favorite channels :D
7:45 This isn't a new design. I've seen this circuit 15+ years ago. Depending on how you design it, it can also double a basic step down regulator.
What if I add a FULL BRIDGE REKTIFIYAA.......?
FOOL BRIDGE*
God dammit
Electroboom hahahaha
Zen you vill haf 1.4V drop across it and you missed the point.
Voltage drop, but it would work
Thanks for sharing😀👍
Interesting project
A good solution for a common problem👍😀
Most interesting subject! Thanks for sharing and keep up your great work!
Make a tube amplifier
This is probably why using a lab power supply to charge a battery is not recommended. Battery charging circuits have protections built in for this reason.
Yeah... just a diode in series, than compensate the voltage...
THANKS!!! I been needing this kinda info!
Thanks for video
We can use a relay with a diode to protect from wrong polarity without voltage drop
But must use same voltage for relay coil and for the load

What kind of power supply is it?
What is the Max Voltage,Current and power.
ELV DPS5315 0-30V 0-3A
Thank you for this vídeo Scott
Very well said @GreatScott. Good Job
Make a tube amp please! I know it is easier with solid state stuff but transistors will never beat the warm sound of tubes!
Lel
I prefer sticking with the original method to get accurate voltage also mistakes happen once I don't think I will blow the diode again in the future 🙂
Haha, been there - none it (blowing up my power supply). But you do have to love the power mosfet versions ! Just build it into your power supply and change the point where your power supply monitors the output voltage to the output of the mosfet protection circuit.
Nice demo. Will probably use.
Can you do an ups?
Up
this system wouldnt be as bad if the diode could be swapped more easily
Maybe mounting a perf board on the back of the power supply that contains the diode on the outside of the power supply for ease of replacement.
Could protect diode with a heavy latch relay on a separate power source disconnect the output when polarity is reversed or shorted
Eric Daniels Just put the diode in a fuse holder. But encouraging internal repair of lab equipment is good outside the calibration industry.
I almost watched all of your videos, Not knowing Im not yet subscribe, and Now I subscribed that's why I made a Comment. HAHAHA. GREAT VIDEOS VERY INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL. WATCHING FROM THE PHILIPPINES 😂
Great vedio God bless you and your power supply. ....👍

Genau mir ist auch leider der selbe Fehler passiert, aber gut dass es GreatScott gibt!
this is good for my knowledge electronic thank for this video hope you get more like this and stay well for your healthy
Pfft, reverse polarity protection is only for the weak.
😂
Yep. Once you blow something up, you almost always remember to make sure you set up correctly.
if you work at a atomreactor you also dont a second chance yo make sure to always connect correctly or just thing that your city will blow up xD

Thank you for your time and effort to produce these excellent videos! You appear well versed in MOSFET selection. I have a reverse voltage polarity 6 - 8 VDC, 15 AMP (max) application I am evaluating that will require a low side N-Channel MOSFET. Any initial suggestions?
Great tutorial
You can use a thyristor with a relay
When a reverse voltage detected by thyrisyor it triggers the relay and opens its switch note to use a
Fast acting relay .
I never had problem with reverse voltage
I had
1) you are starting with electronics
2) you’re a liar
There only two kinds of electronics hobbyists, those that have done this and those that will.
Until one day you had a problem with reverse voltage.
@@RyutakuZaki Every time when I make circuit I always double check or triple check circuit for reverse polarity supply or capacitors
Didn't watch the video yet. But... FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!
And what is a *FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!* ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I know it have some capacitors and stuffs but the function of it is unknown for me...
@@hedgehogthesonic3181 It's an arrangement of diodes that turns A/C current (which goes back and forth both ways) into DC current.
It's not efficient however.
@@DFX2KX DC only moves in one direction right ?
This is really a useful video
Thanks for sharing this knowledge
someone say hi to me....
Hi you person reading the comments!! have a good day
Hello,how are you ?
hi to me....
hi from malaysia
hi to me
Greetings and salutations from way down south in Amite, Louisiana. Where are you?
"What is the best Reverse Voltage Protection Circuit?"
As it has been for years...A diode and a fuse.
I always check each and every connection with my multimeter before plugging power in and I check the battery terminals for current directivity before plugging anything in. Quick, easy and as safe as you can hope for (unless you're wearing jewelry - Example if you have a ratchet/socket in your Right hand and touch your socket to either terminal and don't realize you're touching your Left hand's wedding ring to the other terminal you instantly die as the power moves straight across your heart [it's right between your 2 arms & hands!] but good luck convincing anyone to remove their wedding rings when doing such work!).
Great video. This problem comes up often.
FINALLY a new video from Scott
Every Sunday ;-)
Hey GreatScott,
Could you give me the Amazon Link with i can support you?
Thank you. Very informative video
the best electronics video. great!
very clear explanation
Thanks you great scott ! I am a big fan of yours!
Can you make a voltage increasing circuit upto 1000v or 2000v?
Great Scott is really Great....
Failing to add some reverse polarity protection to my bitx40 ham radio, and subsequently figuring out how to stuff all the magic smoke inside sucked, but actually advanced my skills quite a bit.
I liked very much the kind of brand or pens used it's wonderful
Man you are incredible
Thank you so much
you could put a latching relay and diode to have close to no voltage loss and still a fiarly fast decoupling on reverse voltages
Very good info
Well explained.
Incredible ! It was what i was looking for to charge lithium battery with 220v to 5v supply. Because the 0.7v drop of the diode prevent it from completely charge le lithium battery. I hope the lower drop voltage of the mosfet will be ok !
Useful video 👍 Excellent 👍
Great video.
Excellent solution, regardless of the voltage dropping which can be calibrated with a predefined fine tuning and clear the offset. Can you make a video about charging/discharging super capacitors?
Shouldn't the fuse be on the other side of the diode? So it interrupts mistakes like yours, when you're trying to feed into the power supply.
Amazing!! Gotta make it ..
Great video
Интересное решение с минимум деталей.👍электронный предохранитель и блок защиты👍
Intro was one of my favorite
Amazing video man! However you should have gone with the N-Channel MOSFET. N-Channel MOSFETs are generally way more cheaper, has a lower Rds(on) and gate junction capacitance. Means its cheap and power efficient.
Keep making these videos man. I'm totally a fan. And I will see you next time!
It's very easy ckt to build at home. ....thank you bro...
great scott you are genius
That heat sink looks Dope
I have destroyed one of my boost converter(bought after seeing on your channel), by connecting 3.7V 18650 battery in reverse, that is why I'm here, but in my case, diode will be good as I want to operate a solenoid mechanism for approximate 2 seconds, thank you
Very interesting and helpful.
Electrobooms inverter is nice example and its a another interesying video
