    Abstract: Disclosed is an auxiliary power source circuit having an ultra-low standby power consumption, including a transformer, a PWM control chip, a battery power source, a first switch tube, a voltage division adjustment module, adjustment modules, and a control module. The control module selects an under-charge voltage of the battery on the basis of the minimum under-charge voltage of the battery and a power source voltage of the battery. Module parameters of the adjustment modules are adjusted, such that the power supply time of the control module can last until a power supply voltage of the PWM control chip is dropped. Therefore, an auxiliary power source circuit can be prevented from frequently performing self-start-up, thereby truly reducing the standby power consumption of a system and greatly reducing the current loss.

    Abstract: A control apparatus for ARCP (Auxiliary Resonant Commuted Pole) power inverters include a modulator and a modulation control. The modulator is configured to carry out a commutation of an ARCP inverter by selectively using a Continuous PWM (CPWM) modulation and a Discontinuous PWM (DPWM) modulation. The modulation control is configured to dynamically select either the CPWM modulation or the DPWM modulation in a such a way that switching losses of the ARCP inverter are reduced while a failure of the commutation of the ARCP inverter due to a neutral point voltage unbalance of the ARCP inverter is avoided.

    Abstract: A power supply apparatus with step-up and step-down conversion includes a primary-side rectifying/filtering circuit, a step-up converter, a full-bridge LLC converter, a primary-side controller, a secondary-side rectifying/filtering circuit, a voltage regulator, and a secondary-side controller. The primary-side rectifying/filtering circuit rectifies and filters an AC input voltage into a DC input voltage. The primary-side controller controls the step-up converter to step up the DC input voltage to a step-up voltage, and controls the full-bridge LLC converter to convert the step-up voltage to a conversion voltage. The secondary-side rectifying/filtering circuit rectifies and filters the conversion voltage into a DC output voltage. The secondary-side controller controls the primary-side controller to provide the step-up control signal and the conversion control signal and provides a voltage regulation signal to control the voltage regulator so as to regulate the DC output voltage to an output voltage for supplying power to the load.

    Abstract: A voltage transformer comprises a multi-limb transformer core having a central limb, a first outer limb, and a second outer limb. The voltage transformer also comprises a first primary winding wound about the central limb, a second primary winding wound about the central limb, a first secondary winding wound about the central limb, and a second secondary winding wound about the central limb. A first balance winding is wound about the first outer limb and coupled in series with the first primary winding, and a second balance winding is wound about the second outer limb and coupled in series with the second primary winding. The first and second balance windings are coupleable together via mutual inductance in response to first and second currents flowing therethrough.

    Abstract: In a power converter for converting DC power from a DC power source into AC power and supplying the AC power to a single-phase winding or multi-phase windings, a controller controls first and second inverter circuits and performs first power conversion control to lock open/closed states of switching elements in the second inverter circuit and switch open/closed states of switching elements in the first inverter circuit, and second power conversion control to lock open/closed states of the switching elements in the first inverter circuit and switch open/closed states of the switching elements in the second inverter circuit. The controller is configured to perform either the first power conversion control or the second power conversion control when an effective value of drive current through each winding is less than a threshold, and otherwise switch between the first power conversion control and the second power conversion control.
