@sublexxus79 Me too. I've kept a couple powerbanks, but if there isn't room enough inside to install fuses, it gets torn down for parts. Four 18650 cells can hold a lot of energy, it's just too dangerous.
@@DiodeGoneWild This is not the end ... www.aliexpress.com/item/4000715696803.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3af64c4dhuCUEc The charger is still manufactured and is even marked 3.1A max at 5V. Yesterday I opened the cover and found another pcb design with the same insufficient insulation distance and an equally dangerous transformer, also the circuit of the self-oscillating with 2 tranzistors is almost identical, the charger also has no fuse and noise filter. The rectifier diode is SR160, so this charger is the same as yours.
Very nice Isolation transformer idea made from two step-down transformers, where the first is wired as the normal step down and the second as a step up, limiting current to the size the transformer's capacity. Also great is your cat in your videos, you've got a good assistant there.
DiodeGoneWild I wonder what was all about the ground connection that you were talking about, I didn't get the idea to use those transformers like that. Do you have any video where that is explained? Thank you.
Thank you. I'm just learning how to use an oscilloscope, and my oscilloscope I built from a kit. It's a DS0138, and your setup on the USB charger. Thank you for your incite DIODEGONEWILD. Great name!!!
Man, in spite having such a strong accent you're probably more understandable than some natives. And you make good vids too. Some are kinda long but with how you make them they're easy to watch.
@G E T R E K T Sorry? Our teacher was absent and we had multiple tests coming up. Both the book and this video included in the same content. I never learn using books. I’d be the reason they’d exist if I used the book because I’d never learn anything with a book.
The Russians were fans of overbuilding things, because they had almost limitless resources during the Soviet (communist) era. Sadly, they were taking these resources by force from the countries they had occupied, or otherwise forced to join the Union.
And you never should. Communism is impossible to apply in practice, and everyone who tried, failed miserably. It has left a mark on so many people, we would have been better off if communism and dictatorship hadn't existed in this country, but sadly, not everyone understands that.
Dude i was gonna comment that.But yeah a finger is surely a lot more expensive and you are not able to get another one.So your finger is a treasure and you need it most and a thermal camera..... You don't even need it
Thanks again. These Chinese cheapos don’t stop frightening me. I’m glad we have very efficient authority Tukes here in Finland which examines these. It’s sad that those are not mandatory anymore because of EU. There are huge amount of bad power supplies where the safety gap is too small or are causing interferencies. BUT please, be careful with the mains voltage! I hope you have residual current device which understands also pulsating DC. I’ve been doing electronics for over 50 yrs and I felt me slightly worried when you have mains voltage so open. I never hold multimeter leads with two hands when measuring mains voltage and keep the other hand behind my back or in pocket. I want you to continue doing these really fine videos.
profound knowledge, enlightening and always very entertaining - well done .. now and then I have to close my eyes as you are so close to the mains with your fingers - I'm sure, you've got a lot of e-shocks in your life (as I did, of course) ;) Your Tesla-Scope is e-tubed, I guess (why not using a 1:10 voltage divider, built in in most of these test probes for Oszilloskopes?) ...thx, always a pleasure to watch your videos
16:10 Sometimes a clamp is not needed on the transistor. This mainly has to do with the design of the transformer. But yeah most flyback supplies have a clamp. BTW, sometimes instead of a diode/cap/resistor, I've seen a high voltage TVS diode in it's place, to clamp the voltage.
Great videos! Very useful to not buy dangerous things. I wish you could explain some day about those diodes against each other instead of the snubber network. Still figuring out exactly how they work. Is usually a normal diode + zenner 180v.
Yep too many corners cut with that design, 1 amp was optimistic lol. I have seen that 13003 transistor in so many cheap supplys and flourscent bulbs. It must be their favorite and cheapest one to use, and the c945 is very common but quite reliable. Do you think the transformer is to blame for the low current problem, or just the 13003 is not having a heatsink, so the emitter resistor can't be lowered in value slightly. Your cat wants some fuss :-D
1.40 USD including shipping is probably not enough to build a proper 1A charger. The problem may be the transistor or transformer, but it also may be the low capacity of the capacitor at the output and also the low capacity capacitor at the input, which makes the voltage drop too much during zero crossings. The transistor and transformer thing is much more complex. The same transformer core can transform more power if a higher frequency is used, but it requires a faster transistor. Also the windings are important for the power. Higher frequency allows for less turns, thus thicker wire and more power. But also the arrangement of the windings is important. It a split primary is used (half of it below the seconrady and the other half above) the frequency can be higher and also the stray inductance is not that high, so it can handle more power without too much ringing and overshoots. Also a snubber network would help to reduce the stress of the transistor and thus allow for more power.
That electrolytic cap - C H O N G - X Now made with more Nu-Metal in their Industrial Metal foundery where they specialize in Alternative Metals; that's pretty Progressive.
ChengX is not Chinese, it's Taiwanese. And yeah it's an old well-established brand and an "import" thus somewhat coveted in China, but ChengX were never particularly high quality, they are just about the lowest grade of the Taiwanese ones, though China has many brands that are worse and few that are any better. And thus the desire to fake it - there are multiple brands in China that imitate the appearance of the ChengX logo.
Having exact the same chargers bought from gearbest for 2$ but mine is tottaly different inside its full of smds on bottom and just some power components and diodes on top. Isolation is also almost non existent on mine
is it essential that transformer used need to have isolation winding? can a charger be made using 5 v regulating supply using 7805 and a relay to switch off when charging is finished?
If it is powered by mains electricity, then isolation is absolutely necessary. To learn why, you need to learn about the power grid and earthing. There is an excellent video about it by +The Post Apocalyptic Inventor. If you want to charge a phone from 12V or so, then you could use a 7805. It´s not very efficient though. The higher the input voltage for 7805, the lower the efficiency, resulting in more heat. There would be no need for a relay because the phone will stop charging by itself.
As your testing is typically destructive, you could also test the flammability of device's cases. Usually it looks like one last place for a device to fail safety test, if everything else looks good. I have ordered ~5 chargers from china, and none hasn't had flame retardant case.
Prodávaj se normálné u nás v kamených obchodech a eshopech asi za 149kč a u různých vietnamcú je teď zlevnili na 49-79kč. Ta moje má ještě nad usb natíštěno 3,1A což jsem samozřejmě nevěřil a koupil jsem jí ze zvědavosti za těch 49kč a čekal něco mezi 1-2A a dává stěží těch 0,7A. Nemám moc levných věcí na 0,5A tak asi půjde na součástky, USB konektor a modrá LEDka se vždycky hodí. Btw. Krásný zvědavý kocourek ;-)
I did enjoy the scope photos which are missing from all the other teardowns. If you do another, a shot of the base waveforms would be nice cause I can't convince myself how the R-C L oscillator works. An ON semi MJE13003 has a breakdown of 700 Volts 400 V sustained. Disregarding the bandwidth of a Tesla scope the ringing on the primary looks to be less that the 77.5 volt reflected back from the secondary. More expensive tran snubber network tradeoff?
OK, the next one will be with the base waveforms ;). Without a snubber network, the transistor suffers more stress and so the output power has to be reduced to prevent its failure. The ringing increases the voltage quite a lot, by about 150V.
@DiodeGoneWild I bought a similar charger and the issue with it is that it charges my phone (4Ah) from 0-25% and stops charging. Then, again begins to charge when it cools down. What could I do to solve this issue? A current sensing resistor replacement maybe?
I simulated this circuit, and it had the exact same ripple and overshoot issues. They didn't even simulate to test if dropping the component values to save money was a good idea...
thank you for this video, very instructif, please i have a question about that oscillator : how the 4.7nf capacitor is discharged, when primary current stop,of course there is an oposit EMF induced in the auxiliary winding,what is the path of the auxiliary current at this moment.
Hello. How come the output reading of a USB plug has 3 data? I am looking for a fast USB plug to be used as an adaptor to my rechargeable battery device. I have two plugs. Data as follows: USB Plug1 Data - Input 100V-240V ~50/60Hz 0.5A Output: DC 5V==3A / 9V==2A / 12V==1.5A USB Plug2 Data - Input 100V-240V ~50/60Hz 0.75A Output: DC 5V==2A / 4.5V==5A / 5V==4.5A Which is suitable and fast charging of two?
Thank you very much for explaining how this power supply works. It was the simplest ps I had ever seen. I learned a lot. But Can you explain to me please why a full bridge rectifier isn't used at the secondary (except for the cost cutting issue)? It seems it will double the power. If they use a transformer with a symmetrical 3 wire output, all they need is an extra diode to double the power. Another question. High voltage transitors have very low gains. Except the cost, would it be more efficient to use a MOSFET instead?
Hi your videos are always awesome, I'm having two major issues in designing the SMPS, 1. When i overload the supply its voltages drops to some lower voltages, if i change the ferrite transformer with another one of bigger size then this voltage drop is less. My question is how the ferrite transformer affects the voltage drop? 2. also when i put the load its fet starts heating, actually im using it without snubber. My question is deos the snubber affects the heating problem of FET? Answer will be highly appreciated, thanks
Very good review and explanation of a poorly designed and potentially dangerous charger, thank you.. (would not pass an insulation test, why are they allowed to import and sell?)
Thanks :) I ordered this charger directly from China via Ebay. This bypasses all the EU safety tests. It shouldn't be officially imported and sold here, but sometimes those still slip through and so they may sneak into domestic shops and e-shops.
I really like your videos, because you'll explain how those circuits work's and also give us the circuit diagram... Thanks a lot... Always give us these circuit diagram of all circuits..... 💗💗💗
Did u yus touched around with your finger on the circuit board while it was connected to mains? Thats almost as dangerous as the moment you used your finger as a series resistor in a mains circuit lol
Meanwile this chagrer has a doubble sided board with SMD-components and a chip. 5,3-5,4 volts without load. Delivers still not more than 1 ampere I tink due to the small size of components.
There's nothing to be seen in those at all, just a board bonded chip in a blob of black epoxy. As a matter of fact, good ones look the same these days, they just use better connectors.
Thanks. I love all your videos and I watch them before anything else when you upload a new one. The primary inductance is the prime parameter for any flyback transformer and turns count might not always help. Please also plan for your power meter that you do using your multi meter.
I have many of them, if you want I can send you some (wall adapters, mainly from china) + failed LED GU10 bulbs. I am curious what failed in them. No need for send back. I am from Slovakia so posting is no problem. I tried to identify failed components in them, without success. :) Maybe with your video I can learn something new.
You amaze me. No UA-camr I know of can do so much with so little. Your main tools are pen and paper.
@Adhika Padhana indeed! Those schematics speaks!
@sublexxus79 Me too. I've kept a couple powerbanks, but if there isn't room enough inside to install fuses, it gets torn down for parts. Four 18650 cells can hold a lot of energy, it's just too dangerous.
I might as well buy it just for parts.

In CZE is main voltage 230V not 220V so you are not supposted to use it :D
When the Chinese say 220V they often mean all the 220 / 230 / 240V voltages in general.
DiodeGoneWild Yeah, but when chinese are saying something it doesn't matter. It will blow anyway :D
hi diode, i rely want you to know the operating frequency of such cellphone charger plc comment me.
Whats is the mega solder irion?
:-)
I have one similar (same case but says 3.1A), but it has 2 leds and better isolation, probably an upgrade from that one. Still less than 1A.
Do not worry friends, the cat has a masters in catgineering.
I also got one like these and the isolation was a small piece of tape.
I immediantely threw it away.
Oh man you have to take an oscilloscope from Electro boom : - )
