Abstract

Abstract A switching power source device includes a rectifying smoothing circuit made up of a full-wave rectifier 2 and a small-capacity capacitor 3, a resonance frequency controlled type resonance converter circuit 4 having a controlled resonance frequency, a power source regulating transformer 7 having a primary winding N 1 , a secondary winding N 2 insulated from the primary winding N 1 , and a control winding at right angles to the primary and secondary windings, a controller 9 for controlling the controlling current of the power source regulating transformer 7 and a rectifying smoothing capacitor 8 determining the ripple voltage of the dc output voltage from the power source regulating transformer 7 in conjunction with the load power. With the switching power source device, the harmonic distortion in the ac input current is diminished and the ac input voltage is improved to a sinusoidal wave.
