Here is a shot of a cheapo £15.00 incl postage Chinese 24V/10A switched-mode PSU with just one blue cap (indicated with red arrow) needing to be removed to free the input from mains earth. This has both 220V and 110V switched input settings. The bridge rectifier (next to cap) is also easy to clip-out and replace with fast diodes if required.

  What a steal!!! Including shipping it to UK, wow. Makes me wonder, again, why not just buy the ready made induction heater/cooker circuit as well, with the adjustable controls, instead of making our own.  Seams like a waist of time to make these circuits... at least it does to me, when the Chinese are making circuits cheaper that we can even buy the parts for.  And the time it take to make them work, as well.
  Each new circuit that Ruslan is showing lately, looks more and more like a commercially made unit. Or not? 
  I know that it's just a matter of time before someone finds that commercially available circuits can be adapted for our purpose.   Mark my words...

Nick,

This PSU is shipped in the UK from a Chinese importer. No need to import nowadays, plenty of Chinese businesses over here! Hopefully, it will stay smoke free for a while.

Thanks Hoppy,

no need to replace the bridge rectifier as we suppose to run with 240V dc which will pass throught this FWBR.

    I wish that I could say the same, as I can't even get the new fets I need to continue on, here in C.R.  But, they are ordered and will be here, any month now, coming by turtle shipping, from China.

  Reminds me of the first page of this thread, where two computer PSU were fried, before finding one that finally worked. If I remember correctly, as it's been a while now.
  I wonder if the PC type of PSU might work for us, as well. But, I wouldn't want  to see them go up in smoke though.
