REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

HAIER LTF42K1 AND LTF47K1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT WITH POWER FACTOR CORRECTION

HAIER LTF42K1 AND LTF47K1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT WITH POWER FACTOR CORRECTION

  HAIER LTF42K1 AND LTF47K1

SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER FACTOR CORRECTION (PFC)

                        Every year, millions and millions of notebook computers, LCD monitors and LCD televisions are produced. With such a fast growing number of these and other electronic devices using more and more power, actions must to be taken to ensure the functionality of the nationwide power grid. In 2001, the European Union put EN61000-3-2 into effect to set the harmonic regulation standard on any power grid supplied application with power consumption over 75 watts. This essentially requires power factor correction (PFC). Additionally, a standby power dissipation limit is set to conserve power when a load is OFF. “80 PLUS” is an initiative funded by electric utilities to integrate more energy efficient Power Supply Units (PSUs) - especially for desktop computers and servers. 80 PLUS certifies to more than 80% energy efficiency at 20%, 50% and 100% of rated load. To meet the 80 PLUS certification, PSUs require a PFC of 0.9 or greater at 100% load. This means PSUs that waste 20% or less electric energy (as heat at the specified load levels) will lead to reduced electricity consumption and lower bills. Rebates are sometimes given to manufacturers who use 80 PLUS certified PSUs. Implementing power factor correction (PFC) into switch mode power supplies will maximize:

1 .The power handling capability of the power supply

2.Current handling capacities of power distribution networks Input power factor (PF) is defined as:

PFC = REAL POWER (WATTS) / APPARENT POWER (VA )

PF is expressed as decimal number between zero and one (0 and 1). A non-corrected power supply with a typical PF equal to 0.65 will draw approximately 1.5 times greater input current than a PFC supply (PF = 0.99) for the same output loading. The non-corrected supply requires additional AC current to be generated which is not consumed by the load, creating I 2R losses in the power distribution network. There are two types of PFCs:

1. Active

2. Passive

Passive PFC

The simplest form of PFC is passive (Passive PFC). A passive PFC uses a filter at the AC input to correct poor power factor. The passive PFC circuitry uses only passive components > an inductor and some capacitors

Active PFC
 
Active PFC offers better THD and is significantly smaller and lighter than a passive PFC circuit. To reduce the size and cost of passive filter elements, an active PFC operates at a higher switching frequency than the 50Hz/60Hz line frequency.
Active PFC functions include:
1. Active wave shaping of the input current
2. Filtering of the high frequency switching
3. Feedback sensing of the source current for waveform control
4. Feedback control to regulate output voltage
