Test 5 – Flyback circuit (DC minor voltages)
Symptom: Minor voltages are not present.
Note: Wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) before testing powered equipment.
The flyback circuit is the source of the minor DC voltages in the power supply. It provides +3.3 VDC, +5 VDC, +24
VDC, and +48 VDC.
Check the voltages as described in the table. If a value is not within ±15%, perform the appropriate test later in this
section.
