Starting SMPS business
Starting SMPS business
(OP)
Hello,
I would like to start designing, building, testing and manufacturing switch mode power supplies.
I am thinking of power ranges of around 2 to 2000 Watts.
I would be very grateful if any reader could tell how I can find a customer?
I wish to bid for SMPS work but don't know where companies go to find potential SMPS designers/builders.

I believe once working prototypes have been produced, the Manufacture will not be without its challenges but will not be as much of an obstacle as the design stage.
I will also take advantage of my microcontroller experience to produce SMPS designs using less analog components for the auxiliary/monitoring/control/protection circuitry.

How are you going to handle all those "gotcha's" known to fester in SMPS circuits...such as voltage spikes, etc etc.
And regarding the lower wattage supplies, why should i buy your SMPS when there are shedloads of of the shelf SMPS's already available quite cheap?
At higher powers, to be competitive, you'll have to use "resonant" technology.....How's your RF skills -they could be useful here.
