  • Publication number: 20100013397
    Abstract: A power conversion structure includes a power factor correction circuit which has an energy storage coil, a switch and a voltage boosting control unit. The voltage boosting control unit drives the switch to set OFF and ON of the switch to change the period of current passing through the energy storage coil to alter the phase of the current. The energy storage coil is coupled with at least one induction coil to induce and generate driving power to energize lighting equipment. The amount of the driving power is determined by the coil ratio of the induction coil and the energy storage coil. Through the induction coil, the energy storage coil can be induced to generate the driving power which is determined by the coil ratio of the induction coil and energy storage coil.

  • Publication number: 20090261789
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a frequency-changing voltage regulation circuit, which applies to a power supply device that has a booster unit and a power conversion unit. The booster unit modulates an input power and converts the input power into a boosted power. The boost control circuit is coupled to the frequency-changing voltage regulation circuit of the present invention. The frequency-changing voltage regulation circuit comprises: a voltage detection circuit and a frequency setting circuit. The voltage detection circuit detects the input power sent to the booster unit and generates an input level signal according to the value of the input power. The frequency setting circuit generates a reference frequency signal corresponding to the input level signal and uses the reference frequency signal to modulate the frequency that the booster unit performs power conversion.

  • Publication number: 20090206671
    Abstract: The present invention includes plural power supplying units, a power distributing backplane and more than one protection circuits, wherein the power supplying unit produces an output power and the power distributing backplane integrates the output powers from plural power supplying units and distributes thereof into plural driving powers for supplying loads. The power circuit for the driving power to drive each load has a protection circuit mounted thereon, wherein the protection circuit detects a driving condition of the load or the power circuit, and according thereto, the protection circuit becomes open or close so as to disconnect or maintain the driving power. Therefore, the abnormal driving power will not influence the operation of the whole power system and other normal loads still can maintain operation. Furthermore, since plural power supplying units are used to provide the power needed by loads, the power capacity will not be wasted.
