Electric circuit arrangement for the input protection circuit of a switching power supply and a switching power supply
The invention relates to an electric circuit arrangement for the input protection circuit of a switching power supply, having a surge protection circuit, which is contacted with a supply voltage on an input side and to which a current-compensated choke is connected as a suppression component, said current-compensated choke being connected to a rectifier circuit comprising an energy storage means on an output side. Via modifications to the circuit technology, such as using two varistors as surge protections, and by using suitable switching elements, such as silicon diodes as rectifier elements and ceramic capacitors as an energy storage means, the input protection circuit is designed such that the requirements, which an expanded input voltage range demands of a surge circuit, are fulfilled. Furthermore, the invention relates to a switching power supply having an electric circuit arrangement according to the invention for the input protection circuit.
