Abstract
A power supply apparatus including a plurality of power modules, a holder-case, and a fan. The holder-case is box-shaped with a first surface plate and second surface plate as two surfaces, and contains a plurality of power modules arranged laterally, parallel, and in the same plane. A plurality of walls are provided between the plurality of laterally arranged power modules, and divide the holder-case interior into a plurality of rows of partitions. One row of power modules is disposed in each partition row. The power supply apparatus uses the fan to divide and induce air flow through flow inlets formed in the first surface plate into the plurality of partitions, and expels air out exhaust outlets formed in the second surface plate to cool power modules disposed inside each partition.
