Flyback Help

Recommended Posts

Hi. I'm new to the forums. I was experimenting with a color TV flyback, using a 2N3055 driver (I DO NOT want to kill myself with a ZVS) and i was getting an arc to ground with a spark gap I built, and then out of nowhere; my flyback stopped working. I was using a 10 volt 750 mA power supply. I checked the power supply with my multi-meter and it still read 10 volts and 750mA. I checked my transistor by using a different circuit and the transistor was fine. None of my resistors blew, but I did find one thing: my flyback was giving out .9 volts on the secondary! I'm thinking that I might have to buy a new flyback. If anybody knows where to get a cheap flyback online for about 6 US dollars, it would be great.

It sounds like the secondary voltage on the flyback exceeded its maximum rating causing the insulation to fail, arc over and internally short circuit. The only fix is a new flyback.

To prevent this from happening again do the following: add more turns to the primary or reduce the power supply voltage and never operate the flayback open circuit.
