  • Patent number: 5563758
    Abstract: A power supply circuit receives and rectifies a three phase power source. A first capacitor is coupled to filter and store the rectified three phases and supply the stored energy to a DC/DC converter. The first capacitor is large enough, when all three phases are present, to filter the rectified input power and supply rated voltage to the DC/DC converter between peaks in the phases, but not too large as to adversely affect the power factor. However, when one phase drops out, additional capacitance is required to maintain rated voltage to the DC/DC converter during the periodic absence of the one phase. Thus, a switch and a second capacitor are connected in series with each other and in parallel with the first capacitor. In response to absence of one of the phases, the switch is activated to couple the second capacitor to filter and store the rectified two phases and supply the stored energy to the DC/DC converter.
