Abstract
A switched-mode power supply unit includes a mains input connecting the power supply to a primary supply voltage; an input circuit including a shared electrical path connected to the mains input and including a first mains filter, a first electrical path, connected in series with the shared electrical path, including a second mains filter, a second electrical path connected in series with the shared electrical path and connected in parallel with the first electrical path, and a first switching element that opens the first electrical path; a supply output that provides a filtered primary supply voltage; a switched-mode converter coupled to the supply output that converts the filtered primary supply voltage to a secondary supply voltage; and a control circuit that selectively switches the power supply unit to a first mode of operation with a high power output or a second mode of operation with a reduced power output.
