Hi all, I'm new here but experienced in analogue electronics and all the safety issues of DIY electronics.
I have a few working but redundant Computer SMPS and would like to experiment with using SMPS as the DC supplies to amplifiers.
Is it feasible to convert an SMPS to give a dual polarity DC supply? i.e. mains AC to +-Vdc?
How do I determine the feedback route and components that control the output voltage?
If the SMPS is rated @ 500W, does that mean that it can supply a continuous 500VA at an appropriate DC voltage? or should it be de-rated for continuous duty?
