    Axpert MEX-1500/ MEX-3000 Service manual 3. Working principle of the major functional block 3.1 Switch Power Supply The switch power supply (SPS) supplies DC power for Inverter/Charger operation. The input voltage of the SPS is the battery. Figure 3.1 basic circuit of power supply This is the fly-back DC-DC converter, fly-back operation can be easily recognized from the position of the dots on the transformer primary and secondary (these dots show starts of the winds).

    Axpert MEX-1500/ MEX-3000 Service manual 3.2 DC TO DC converter (full bridge) The full bridge topology is a transformer isolated forward-mode regulator. Unlike the fly-back transformer, the push-pull transformer does not store any energy and output current is drawn when power switches are conducting.

    Axpert MEX-1500/ MEX-3000 Service manual 3.3 DC TO AC inverter (full-bridge) The Inverter circuit (Figure 3.3) of Axpert MEX series is based on a full-bridge circuitry and its output is driven by photo-couplers. The photo-couplers are capable to drive high energy and high speed power of MOSFET and IGBT with independent high and low referenced output channels.
