Abstract

Abstract A power supply device has its power supply conductor bars, in which a.c. currents caused by a.c. noises flow in the same direction, laid closely in parallel while retaining their insulation thereby to increase the total inductance so that the impedance increases without accompanied by an increase in the d.c. resistance of the power supply conductor bars. An increased coupling impedance of the power supply conductor bars effectively attenuates the a.c. noises from d.c. power units, which then supply d.c. power with reduced a.c. noises to an electronic apparatus such as a computer through the power supply device.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 71 words
A power supply device comprising a plurality of power supply conductor bars connected from at least one d.c. power unit to at least one load, the d.c. power unit generating or flowing a.c. noises through itself,,wherein all or part of power supply conductor bars in which a.c. currents caused by the a.c. noises flow in the same direction, are laid closely in parallel while retaining the insulation between said conductor bars.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 71 words
A power supply device comprising a plurality of power supply conductor bars connected from at least one d.c. power unit to at least one load, the d.c. power unit generating or flowing a.c. noises through itself,,wherein all or part of power supply conductor bars in which a.c. currents caused by the a.c. noises flow in the same direction, are laid closely in parallel while retaining the insulation between said conductor bars.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
A power supply device according to claim 1, wherein said all or part of power supply conductor bars in which a.c. currents caused by the a.c. noises flow in opposite directions, are laid as far from each other as possible.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 35 words
A power supply device according to claim 2, wherein an a.c. power supply to said d.c. power unit is controlled so that the a.c. noises in the d.c. power unit are in-phase with each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 35 words
A power supply device according to claim 1, wherein an a.c. power supply to said d.c. power unit is controlled so that the a.c. noise in the d.c. power unit are in-phase with each other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 78 words
An electronic apparatus comprising at least one load including electronic component parts and at least on d.c. power unit connected to said load through a plurality of power supply conductor bars, the d.c. power unit generating or flowing a.c. noises through itself, wherein all or part of power supply conductor bars in which a.c. currents caused by the a.c. noises flow in the same direction, are laid closely in parallel while retaining the insulation between said conductor bars.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 78 words
An electronic apparatus comprising at least one load including electronic component parts and at least on d.c. power unit connected to said load through a plurality of power supply conductor bars, the d.c. power unit generating or flowing a.c. noises through itself, wherein all or part of power supply conductor bars in which a.c. currents caused by the a.c. noises flow in the same direction, are laid closely in parallel while retaining the insulation between said conductor bars.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 38 words
An electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein all or part of power supply conductor bars in which a.c. currents caused by the a.c. noises flow in opposite directions, are laid as far from each other as possible.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 34 words
An electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein an a.c. power supply to said d.c. power unit is controlled so that the a.c. noises in the d.c. power unit are in-phase with each other.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 34 words
An electronic apparatus according to claim 6, wherein an a.c. power supply to said d.c. power unit is controlled so that the a.c. noises in the d.c. power unit are in-phase with each other.
