Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an energy supply device for providing an output voltage and an output current. The device includes a first operating state, a second operating state, a measuring assembly, and a signal generator. The measuring assembly is configured to sense a current amplitude of the output current of the energy supply device. The signal generator is configured to produce the output voltage and the output current. The signal generator is further configured to reduce a voltage amplitude of the output voltage of the energy supply device in the first operating state to change to the second operating state if the sensed current amplitude falls below a first current threshold value and to increase a voltage amplitude of the output voltage of the energy supply device in the second operating to change to the first operating state if the sensed current amplitude exceeds a second current threshold value.
