CPC H02M 1/007 (2021.05) [H02M 1/0095 (2021.05); H02M 3/155 (2013.01); H02M 7/539 (2013.01)] | 16 Claims |
1. An AC power supply for connection to at least one electrode of an electrodynamic screen, the power supply comprising:
a DC-to-DC converter electrically coupled to a source of DC voltage, the DC-to-DC converter further comprising an output of the DC-to-DC converter;
a DC-to-AC converter electrically coupled to the output of the DC-to-DC converter, the DC-to-AC converter comprising a two-terminal passive element electrically coupled in series with a first transistor, the first transistor comprising a control terminal, wherein the control terminal of the first transistor is electrically coupled to a periodic voltage signal configured to switch the first transistor into an on state and an off state;
an AC output, the AC output comprising an AC voltage configured to change periodically;
a regulator circuit configured to sample the AC output voltage of the power supply, the regulator circuit further configured to detect when the AC output voltage reaches a predetermined voltage, and wherein;
the regulator circuit is configured to electrically couple the power supply to the source of DC voltage when the output voltage is less than the predetermined voltage.
