  • Patent number: 9450507
    Abstract: A power supply apparatus with input voltage detection includes a power input side and an input detection module. The power input side has a first input terminal and a second input terminal, and the first input terminal and the second input terminal are electrically connected to a live wire and a neutral wire of an AC power source, respectively. The input detection module has two input terminals, which are corresponding electrically connected to the first input terminal and the second input terminal. The input detection module generates a detection signal to shut down the power supply apparatus when the input detection module detects that the live wire or the neutral wire is abnormal, or the live wire and the neutral wire are both abnormal.

  • Patent number: 8067930
    Abstract: An input voltage detecting circuit includes an input circuit, a signal processing circuit and an output circuit. The input circuit is used for processing the intensity and the waveform of an input voltage, thereby generating a first signal, wherein the first signal and the input voltage have similar time sequences. The signal processing circuit is connected to the input circuit for reducing a first delaying time of the first signal, thereby generating a second signal having a second delaying time shorter than the first delaying time. The output circuit is connected to the signal processing circuit for processing the intensity and the waveform of the second signal, thereby generating the power status signal. If the input voltage is uninterrupted, the power status signal is in an uninterrupted status. If the input voltage is interrupted, the power status signal is in an interrupted status.

  • Patent number: 7671580
    Abstract: An integrated current sensing transformer includes a bobbin, a magnetic core assembly, a first primary winding element, a second primary winding element, a secondary winding element. The bobbin has a receptacle therein. The magnetic core assembly is partially embedded into the receptacle for providing a closed path of magnetic flux. The first primary winding element is wound around the bobbin for inputting a first test current therein. The second primary winding element is wound around the bobbin for inputting a second test current therein. The secondary winding element is wound around the bobbin for outputting a sensing current when either the first test current or the second test current is sensed. The magnitude of the sensing current is directly proportional to the magnitude of the first test current or the second test current.

  • Patent number: 7236077
    Abstract: A transformer having adjustable leakage inductance includes a primary winding coil, a secondary winding coil, a bobbin and a magnetic core assembly. The bobbin includes a winding section for winding the primary winding coil and the secondary winding coil thereon, wherein the bobbin further includes a channel therein. The magnetic core assembly is partially embedded into the channel of the first bobbin. The primary winding coil and the secondary winding coil are partially overlapped with each other and wound around the winding section of the bobbin to be defined as an overlap region. The region where the primary winding coil and the secondary winding coil are not overlapped with each other is defined as a non-overlap region. The leakage inductance of the transformer is adjusted according to an overlap ratio of the overlap region to the sum of the overlap region and the non-overlap region.
