Abstract:
1. A power supply, comprising: an input component that receives power from a source; an automatic load sense (ALS) component associated with the power supply that monitors and regulates at least two or more of current and power output from the power supply and further includes a current monitor that determines the amount of current provided by at least one of an output line and total current output by the power supply; a first rectifier/filter that converts and filters the received AC power into a DC signal; a switch that receives the DC signal from the first rectifier/filter and converts it to an AC signal by switching the signal on and off at a predetermined frequency; a transformer that receives the AC signal from the switch and converts the voltage level of the AC signal to a predetermined output level; a second rectifier/filter that converts and filters the AC signal received from the transformer to a DC signal and outputs this signal to the ALS component; and an output component that provides power from the ALS component to one or more variable load components.
