Yeah, dont get me wrong, I absolutely agree there is a need for those skills - I just proposed why there may be such a low demand in the West for those skills in a broad based sense.Thanks, but every single electronics product in the world (or nearly so) has a power supply inside it..therefore UK needs this skill (as do other countries). So we should get an industry going, or at least a training institute so that companies can get their power supply needs met...very often its just a little on-PCB smps. but they've no idea how to do it.
I went to a huge lighting company once, and all their engineers were on stop, because they were getting too much RCD clamp loss in a flyback, they did not know about "Interleaved winding"...very often its simple points like that which can get people going....I went to another place where they had a 10w offline smps which couldn't get started up because they had a huge energy storage cap on the output and the pwm controller kept tripping on overload protection before it got into regulation...an agency would have been able to solve it in minutes...the smps engineer did everything right but that.....so he lost his job........what a waste of his skills in smps...he never found work in smps again.
