Abstract
A power supply provides a low-level DC voltage to one or more DC load circuits by first rectifying either of the two standard AC voltages and thereafter reducing the rectified AC voltage to the low-level DC voltage. The reduction of the rectified AC voltage to the low-level DC voltage is accomplished by a power transformer which is switched on or off by a pair of switching transistors. The switching transistors are activated by a control transformer operating in combination with a control circuit. The control circuit timely produces various pulse conditions in the control transformer which turns the switching transistors on or off in a prescribed manner.
