Erm, guys, if these are switched mode supplies on a 240V system, when
the switching transistor switches OFF, peak voltage on the switching
transistor \ primary winding can easily reach 500 volts or more! (I know
- I have had to design them and specify the Vds max of the switching
FET... we used to fit 600V Vds max for 230 \ 240V....). Think "car
ignition coil" on the primary side of the "transformer"....
A 240V supply might only produce 340VDC on the bulk cap, though....
