Abstract
A system to deliver auxiliary or startup current at a low voltage side from a higher voltage input side is provided which comprises a SIDAC or voltage-breakover switch and an inductor to transfer energy from the high voltage input side to the low voltage side. The system further comprises capacitors at the high voltage input and low voltage sides. The SIDAC or voltage-breakover switch turns on when the voltage across it exceeds a specific value and initiates a current pulse through the inductor for transferring energy from the high voltage input side capacitor to the low voltage side. The voltage breakover rating of the SIDAC or voltage-breakover switch is selected to be in between the voltage levels of the high voltage input side and the low voltage side.
