    half bridge Smps wave forms .....

    And during the dead time... how is the secondary current circulating? Now, if that current were to flow through the secondary winding (changing flux), how would it reflect to the primary?

    schottky specification in LCD monitor switchmode supply

    You have to consider what the anode voltage will be when the diode is not conducting (when it swings negative). Also any spikes that may be there.

    Coupled output inductor design

    In a multi output forward converter, calculate the inductance needed for the "higher" power output. Then, for the coupled filter inductor, the turns ratio between the transformer secondaries has to match the inductors turns ratio.

    Flyback Primary Current Problem

    Where is the schematic? What is the output voltage & current? Where are you measuring the input current... directly across the I sense resistor? Do you have a RC fiter on it before the PWM Try to make it run without the active clamp first (just use RC or DRC snubbers).

    ZENER DIODE

    Any diode will work as a zener (PVI) but not very well. What makes zeners different is the “doping” levels  in the N & P materials. By controlling the levels, the “zener voltage” (breakdown) can be "more" accurately controlled.

    How this ps unit works??

    Think about it this way... first remove the current limit stuff (Q3, R4, P1). Then what to do with Q1... the collector-base looks like a diode... that "kinda works". I don't see how making Q1 a n-p-n will work at all. Then add the current limit function back in.

    Need help with this voltage regulator circuit simulation

    Simplify the circuit... remove the OVP (over voltage protection) circuit... then it runs fast If you want to simulate the OVP function, do that by itself.

    Will this circuit work for a 3A load?

    You say it's an over voltage protection circuit, yet you ask if it can "drive a 3A load". I think your real question is can this circuit handle 3A... the IRFZ44 is rated for 36A at 100°C, so the answer is yes.

    Battery charger over heating

    Where did you tie the "Adj" pin of the LM236-5 (D2)? It should be ties to the cathode if you wanted a 5V reference. Are you relying on "T1 & R2" to make it constant current? Don't!

    Unstable voltage regulator

    You have a couple of problems... first, if the the supply voltage to the LM358 is 12V, the base of the BDX33C needs to be at least a Vbe drop above the emitter voltage to get 12V at Vout... you can't get there with what you have. Second, put a feedback cap on the LM358, say .1

    How to hook up a transformer

    If true, it's probably from a "off-line switch mode power supply", in which case you can not connect it directly to mains AC voltage. Transformers/coupled inductors (if it was a flyback) of that type are meant to run at much higher frequencies.
