A multi-mode current-allocating device serves to control the DC to DC converter in each power supply device of a distributive power supply system. The multi-mode current-allocating device has an active current-sharing control circuit, a current-allocating bypass circuit, and a droop current sharing control circuit to be selectively operated under an active current-sharing mode, a current-allocating mode or a droop current-sharing mode according to the factors of the type of input power of each power supply device, the state of system load, and the system reliability so as to maintain the power supply efficiency of entire power supply system and reduce unnecessary power loss.

An AC/DC converter includes a rectifier circuit, at least one restraining unit, and a power interruption detection circuit. The rectifier circuit is used for converting an AC (alternating current) to a DC (direct current) power source. The restraining unit is connected to an output terminal of the AC power supply. The restraining unit includes a resistor and a switch connected in parallel. The power interruption detection circuit detects whether an input power cycle is regular. When the input power cycle is interruptive, a signal is generated to change a state of the switch in the restraining unit to make the resistor of the interfere in the circuit to restrain an inrush current in any operational circumstance, such as warm startup or quick startup.

A transformer is to be electrically connected to a circuit board. The transformer has a bobbin, a copper sheet assembly and a coil assembly. The bobbin has two side plates and a winding core on which a primary winding, a secondary winding and a magnetic core assembly are mounted. The copper sheet assembly as the primary or the secondary winding has multiple copper sheets. Each copper sheet is an inverted U-shape with two legs, and is mounted on a groove defined on the winding core. Engaging structures formed on the copper sheets and the grooves steadily hold the copper sheet assembly on the winding core to prevent the copper sheets from shifting to incorrect positions. A conducting board below the bobbin connects the copper sheets in sequence. Since the loops formed by the copper sheets and the electrical connector are more nearly concentric, leakage inductance of the transformer will reduce.
