Abstract
A space-efficient power supply powers a system and is housed in a small area of the system. The components of the power supply are designed to reduce heat generation and be aerodynamically efficient. Reduced heat generation reduces the need for air space around the power supply for cooling air, thus allowing the power supply to be housed in a small space. And because the components are aerodynamically efficient, space requirements are further reduced. In one embodiment the power supply is used in a system to power secondary power supplies. The secondary power supplies provide isolated power to components of a system, such as a communications system in an equipment box. In another embodiment, the power supply is used in an equipment box to power communications equipment distributed in the equipment box.
