  • Patent number: 9042133
    Abstract: A power source circuit includes a switching circuit 4 that converts a direct current voltage obtained by converting an alternating voltage from an alternating power source input through a pair of power supply lines 2 and 3 into a predetermined direct current voltage by a switching operation. A fuse 5 is provided on one power supply line 2. A series circuit 9 including a first line bypass capacitor 7 and a resistor element 8 is connected between one power supply line 2 and a ground 6. A second line bypass capacitor 10 is connected between the other power supply line 3 and the ground 6. Imbalance of the circuit by an excess current protection element is prevented to reduce common mode noise.

  • Patent number: 8929105
    Abstract: In a power source circuit including a switching circuit 8 as a power conversion circuit for converting by a switching operation at least one of a frequency and a voltage of an alternating voltage from an alternating power source 2 via a pair of supply lines 3 and 4, one supply line 3 includes a fuse 5 as an excess current protection element, and between a ground line 10 and one supply line 3, a first line bypass capacitor 6 is connected. Between the ground line 10 and another supply line 4, a second line bypass capacitor 7 is connected, and another supply line 4 includes an inductor 9. With this configuration, an unbalanced state of the circuit due to the excess current protection element is reduced so as to restrain the common mode noise.

  • Patent number: 7154050
    Abstract: A cable arranging structure for exchanging electric signals between a pair of printed circuit boards includes at least a pair of electrically conductive members adapted to arrange the cable between them over the entire length thereof. The electrically conductive members show an electric potential substantially equal to that of the ground. Such a structure requires only the two electrically conductive members to be rigidly secured so that radiant noises generated by the cable can be effectively suppressed by means of the structure without the need of deforming the cable.
