Input Bridge rectifier Heating up in a Flyback converter

did you get the transformer right?..power integratrions show how it in one of there DER's

in fact, here is an offline 20v 3a flyback like your own.
**broken link removed**

...It shows the transformer etc
Why dont you make it
Use the "PI Expert software" of theirs to go through the design
--- Updated ---

Do you want me to send you a doc saying how to check if a flyback 's coils are correctly phased?

Remember the right hand corkscrew rule?...that shows the field direction of your windings....in a flyback, you must be sure the field direction of primary and secondary conduction are the same

Test points.....use twisted pair kynar wire flying wires to solder to the pcb....then solder some approx 0.8mm tinned coper wire to other ends so you can clip scope probe to them. test points could be Vcc, gate, COMP pin....etc etc...a big test point(s) on ground.

Hi,

Yes, the PCB uses about 10mm safety isolation clearance --- not a tiny 1mm, far from safety regulations
And uses a safety capacitor --- not a small_RM standard capacitor..
The PCB layout is designed for small current loops...
...

Designing a power supply is not just "generating the expected output voltage".

But for sure you are free to design whatever you want for your own use ... but don't give it out of your house, nor let other people use or touch the supply or the connected devices.

...Normally, the flyback converter draws Iin = Pout/(Vin*(1-D)*efficiency) amps average current through the transformer, sense resistor and MOSFET.
...
Correction:
IL = Pout/(Vin*(1-D)*efficiency) meant the average current drawn during the MOSFET ON-time should be IL = Pout/(Vin*D*efficiency). The factor (1-D) was a mistake, although the aim was to show the relation between the primary current and the input voltage for the same power output rather than the actual magnitude.
