Abstract:
A conversion apparatus with overload control includes a primary conversion circuit, a resonant conversion circuit, and a control unit. The control unit controls a voltage value of a DC power source outputted from the primary conversion circuit according to a current signal of an output current of the resonant conversion circuit. When the control unit realizes that the output current exceeds a rated current according to the current signal, the control unit steps up the voltage value of the DC power source.
