Abstract: A transformer module includes at least one first casing, at least one second casing and at least one transformer. The first casing has a first receptacle. A protrusion structure is formed on an inner wall of the first receptacle. The second casing is accommodated within the first receptacle. The second casing includes plural winding terminals and a second receptacle. An angle of at least one outer-corner of the second casing is non-right angle so that the protrusion structure and the outer-corner define foolproof structures for limiting the install direction of the second case. The transformer is accommodated within the second receptacle. The transformer includes a magnetic core and at least one coil wound on the magnetic core. Both terminals of the coil are connected to respective winding terminals.

Abstract: A switching circuit includes a direct current supplying circuit, an alternating current supplying circuit, a magnetic element and a load. The direct current supplying circuit provides a direct current power. The alternating current supplying circuit is electrically connected to the direct current supplying circuit and provides an alternating current power. The magnetic element is electrically connected to the direct current supplying circuit and the alternating current supplying circuit. The magnetic element is conducted or closed in accordance with the on or off state of the direct current power and the alternating current power. The load is electrically connected to the direct current supplying circuit, the alternating current supplying circuit and the magnetic element.
