Abstract
The present invention discloses a selective independent overload and group overload protection circuit of a power supply. In the power supply, each of a plurality of loads that require a larger power output has an independent overload protection circuit, and the load is connected to a group overload protection circuit, such that a user can select to turn on the independent overload protection circuit or a group overload protection circuit that allows a larger power output and facilitates the user to select an appropriate power output according to the capacity requirement of the load.
Claims6
A selective independent overload and group overload protection circuit of a power supply, comprising:
- a power conversion circuit, for converting an external power supply into a plurality of DC voltage outputs, and the power conversion circuit including a system output power supply and a system protection circuit;
- a switching circuit, coupled to the system output power supply;
- a plurality of independent circuits, selectively switched and coupled to the system output power supply by the switching circuit, and the independent circuit including a plurality of independent output power supplies and an independent overload protection circuit with a one-to-one correspondence with each independent output power supply, and the independent overload protection circuit having a critical value of power output;
- a group circuit, selectively switched and coupled to the system output power supply by the switching circuit, and the group circuit including a group output power supply and a group overload protection circuit, and the group overload protection circuit has a critical value of power output not greater than the sum of the critical values of power output of the plurality of independent output power supplies;
- and
- a plurality of loads, coupled to an independent output power supply in the plurality of independent circuits with a one-to-one correspondence with the group output power supply of the group circuit;
- thereby, a user can turn on an independent circuit or a group circuit by the switching circuit for selecting an appropriate power output according to the requirement of a load.
