An object of the present invention is to lower the voltage applied to the starting resistor of the starting circuit in a switching power supply circuit to reduce the power loss especially when the receiving voltage is high and thereby provide a small and inexpensive switching power supply circuit. According to the present invention, a switching power supply circuit comprises: a DC voltage section having two or more capacitors connected in series; and a PWM control circuit for receiving DC power supply from the DC voltage section and performing switching control on a primary side of a transformer in order for the switching power supply circuit to output a DC voltage of different voltage specifications; wherein the starting resistor for the PWM control circuit is connected to a connection point of the capacitors.

Switching power supply circuit and frequency converter

A low noise, compact and low cost electric power converter employing a compact common mode transformer, and incorporating a line filter can reduce a leakage current, and can maintain predetermined leakage current reduction effect even if installation condition of the electric power converter or a characteristics of a semiconductor switching element is varied. The electric power converter including a capacitor, a first electrode, a second electrode, a first magnetic body, on which the first electrode and the second electrode are wound to form an LC composite element, connecting electrodes electrically connected to respective of both ends of the first and second electrodes, a second magnetic body for interlinking both ends of the first magnetic body, a coil wound around the second magnetic body in the same winding direction as the first and second electrodes wound around the first magnetic body and a resistor for shorting the output of the coil.
