Hi,
I'm working on a flyback power supply design. It runs fine at normal load but in overload conditions the transformer windings go into meltdown.
The output voltage drops and the duty cycle decreases as expected but that doesn't help the transformer.
I know I haven't exactly provided much information here but I was just after getting a general idea of if this is a common problem and what the mechanism is.
