Transformerless Switch Mode Clean Power Supply Requirements + Value Proposition

Jump to: navigation, search

Requirements

  • AC grid power, 120 or 240
  • Arduino brain
  • Rectifier -> chopper -> capacitor smoothing -> output
  • Load-limited power supply
  • Fuse or current protection at output.
  • Low current only up to wall current. This allows for a simple design.

Value Proposition

  • Low cost, scalable, modular, simple design
  • No transformer - solid state for efficiency.
  • Transformers are bulky and not required. Just observe the modern new inverter welders.
