Abstract:
An industrial power supply module, comprising:a booster circuit operative to produce a first DC voltage at an output port thereof from either of an AC input voltage or a DC input voltage at an input port thereof; a DC/DC converter circuit electrically coupled to the booster circuit and operative to produce a second DC voltage at an output port thereof from the first DC voltage such that the second DC voltage is at least about ten times less than the first DC voltage; and an enclosure that encloses portions of the booster circuit and the DC/DC converter circuit within an environmentally sealed volume, wherein the enclosure is thermally coupled to the booster circuit and the DC/DC converter circuit to provide heat transfer between the booster and DC/DC converter circuits and an external environment, and wherein the input port of the booster circuit and the output port of the DC/DC converter circuit are electrically accessible from outside of the sealed volume.
