It has an MOV!

Efficiency is above 80% before the explosion!

And... ripple suppression and load regulation is good!

If only it didn't exploded, it would be worth a recommendation.

Exactly... Amazing, isn't it?

Gabriel.

That made me feel very complicated about Huntkey. You can call that a crap but that's the most amazing crap I've ever seen.

A handy and cunning user would buy this PSU and add heatsinks to the rectifiers himself.

Cheers

Another explodingly good review, thanks Gabe. :-)

Only one tiny addition:
on the last page - to make the message more clear - instead of
"Otherwise it is false advertisement!"

Olle P - still - the rectifier didn't give up, transistors did, oddly enough. I can't understand why because even at 12x115V they have plenty of room.

BTW - looks like another SHENZHEN CHI YUAN INDUSTRIAL CO LTD unit and it looks inside just like LCPower that they sell here in YURP. They only add a PFC choke.... nice efficiency indeed for an old AT-like design.

Thanks SirkoZ for the correction and for your support. Please let me know whenever you see any typo or grammar error on our website.

Just to clarify, you could "fix" this power supply by replacing the switching transistors. The secondary rectifiers have nothing to do with the explosion.

Cheers,
Gabriel.

My bad. I didn't read close enough to notice. I just assumed it was the T15XB80 on the primary that blew up. Rated for only 3A it should blow faster than the switching transistors rated for 24A, if I'm not too off.

(Oh, and you could also make a notice on page 8 that the explosion is more than two minutes into the video.)

Cheers
Olle
