An automatic equalization method and apparatus for bus bar voltages of a Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit. The method includes calculating a difference in voltages of a positive bus bar and a negative bus bar, and increasing the rotation speed of a fan in the PFC circuit according to the difference in voltages of the positive bus bar and the negative bus bar until the voltages of the positive and negative bus bars are equalized. The apparatus includes a voltage difference module configured to calculate a difference in voltages of a positive bus bar and a negative bus bar, and a rotation speed control module configured to increase a rotation speed of a fan in the PFC circuit according to the difference in voltages of the positive bus bar and the negative bus bar, until the voltages of the positive and negative bus bars are equalized.

Method and apparatus for automatically equalizing bus bar voltages of power factor correction PFC circuit

The present invention relates to a power output discharge circuit including: an output filter module configured to receive and filter an input voltage and to output the filtered output voltage to a load; an output charge module configured to charge the output filter module when a power source module is plugged into a system cabinet; and an output discharge module configured to cooperate with the output charge module to discharge the output filter module when the power source module is pulled out of the system cabinet. With an implementation of the power output discharge circuit according to the invention, whether the power source module is pulled out of the system cabinet can be monitored in real time, and upon detecting the power source module being pulled out of the system cabinet, the output discharge module can be started rapidly, and the voltage across the output port can be lowered below a safety voltage in a very short period of time.
