Good day,
Hope anyone can help me.
Does anyone know what this brown round thing is? after some googling I think it is a fuse.
It is from a 12VDC 3,2A UPS Power Supply Unit.
Thank you
Regards

do you have a photo from a different angle ?
typically capacitors that release smoke .....
but I dont see any "farad" value .... but then again very often components on commercial pc-boards dont display all info ...

I will upload another photo tonight.
But from what I can gather it might be this, http://za.rs-online.com/web/p/products/2260967/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

How many wires from it? You'll have to look at the other side of the PCB for that. It looks more like a full-wave bridge rectifier to me, so will probably have four equidistant leads.
Whatever, it certainly looks like it is now "fused".
Edit: Aah, might be a Wickmann fuse!

Looks like a fuse yes. Cylindrical (electrolytic) caps are normally used in power supplies are usually marked clearly ito Polarity as well and bulges at the top when blown.

Thank you, will give it a tryStef wrote:+1 Replace and switch on without load, if it blows again there is a short/faulty component on the board.

Got the replacement fuses. But as soon as I plug in the unit it blows again. So I guess there is something else wrong.

Easiest is to measure with a multi-meter to see if that is the case...then follow the actual tracks on the back to see if there is any obvious shorts like a piece of wire/solder or maybe against the enclosure when assembled etc.
With that eliminated, check the major components one by one

Finally got time to test the unit. So it seems the yellow Polypropylene Film Capacitor next to the Fuse is also dead.
Found a place that sell those capacitors hopefully I can get the unit working tonight. Holding Thumbs
