Abstract:
1. A power converter comprising: a. an AC to DC (AC/DC) power conversion circuit comprising a primary side having heat-generating components and a secondary side, wherein the AC/DC power conversion circuit is configured for converting an electric signal; b. AC power supply leads comprising a prong end configured to plug into an AC wall socket coupled to an AC power supply network and a thermally conductive end, wherein the AC power supply leads are coupled to the AC/DC power conversion circuit to provide the electric signal to the AC/DC power conversion circuit; and, c. an electrically inert, thermally conductive mass thermally coupled with the AC/DC power conversion circuit including the primary side and the secondary side and thermally coupled to the thermally conductive end of the AC power supply leads to transfer heat generated by the AC/DC power conversion circuit to the AC power supply leads, into the AC wall socket, and into the AC power supply network, wherein the electrically inert, thermally conductive mass encases the primary side of the AC/DC power conversion circuit, the secondary side of the AC/DC power conversion circuit and the thermally conductive end of the AC/DC power supply leads, further wherein the prong end of the AC/DC power supply leads protrude from the electrically inert, thermally conductive mass, wherein the AC power supply leads are coupled to the AC power supply network such that the heat generated by the AC/DC power conversion circuit is transferred to the AC power supply network.
