Abstract
A filter circuit is provided in the secondary of a power transformer following a rectifier and is composed of two chokes respectively arranged in the series arms of the lines leading to two output terminals, and at least one shunt capacitor. Each of the chokes is composed of a winding fashioned as a strip-shaped interconnect, whereby both windings are conducted through a common magnetic core in the same winding sense.
Claims1
In a switched power supply of the type having first and second output terminals, a transformer circuit including a switch element feeding a rectifier circuit followed by a filter circuit, and in which first and second chokes are respectively connected between said rectifier circuit and said first and second output terminals, the improvement wherein said filter circuit comprises:
- a capacitor connected across said output terminals;
- a common magnetic core, each of said chokes comprising a strip-shaped winding extending through said core with the strip-shaped winding traversing said core in the same winding sense;
- said first choke comprising three sub-paths including two outer sub-paths external of said core and connected to said first output terminal and a central sub-path extending through said core;
- said second choke comprising a strip-shaped band extending through said core and between said outer sub-paths of said first choke;
- and
- said outer sub-paths and said strip-shaped band include ends constituting said output terminals and mounting said capacitor.
