Introduction

Health and Safety

Dismantling a power supply doesn’t include any harmful steps. Nonetheless workers should wear personal protection equipment like gloves, goggles, apron and robust shoes.

What you need

Step 1 How to Power Supply Disassembly

Remove the steel casing, clean it and put it aside.

Step 2

Remove all components like cooling fan, PWB, transformers, copper windings by cutting off cables and wires and place them aside.
The PWB contains relatively large aluminium boards acting as heat sinks. Remove them and place them aside.
Take care that aluminium is properly cleaned. Aluminium recyclers refuse impure parts.

Step 3

Separate the remaining materials according to their type and go on with the appropriate data sheet (e.g. aluminium, ferrous metals, cables, plastic, further PWBs, capacitors etc.).
