As a novice, with a capitol N, I have been working with linear power supplies. I have now been hooked on smps. Two questions: is it necessary, considering this just a hobby, that a person invest in an isolation transformer? Also a tech gave me some smps boards from his bone yard and I have traced one down to a bad trans and was wondering if a person could get a trans for a smps? I have been warned about the danger of these systems. They are a very interesting part of electronics to me. Opinions?
