Abstract

A step-down power supply device includes: a first switch cabinet configured for receiving an alternating current having a first voltage and controlling an on-off switching of a power supply network; a transformer configured for receiving the alternating current from the first switch cabinet, reducing the first voltage of the received alternating current to a second voltage, and outputting the second voltage; a second switch cabinet configured for receiving the second voltage from the transformer, and outputting the second voltage; and a radiator configured for dissipating heat of at least two of the first switch cabinet, the transformer and the second switch cabinet, wherein the first voltage is greater than the second voltage. The present disclosure can reduce the size of the step-down power supply device, while improving the efficiency of heat dissipation.
