Hi everyone,
I am having some trouble and I really hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I have been following this wikihow: http://www.wikihow.com/Convert-a-Computer-ATX-Power-Supply-to-a-Lab-Power-Supply.
In general, my power supply seems similar, although the coloring scheme is a bit different, but I have checked all the wires for their values and have labeled them all so I know which wires yield which voltages (or are supposed to). Anyways, I am confused, because I have a switch connecting the power cable and a ground lead, and not only do I read a voltage drop across the switch when it is open, it is HIGHER than when I close the switch. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
