| 20110057626 | POWER SUPPLY AND CHARGING CIRCUIT FOR HIGH ENERGY CAPACITORS - A switched mode power supply is disclosed for charging a load such as a high energy capacitor. The power supply is adapted to operate in a substantially constant power mode and includes a flyback converter having a primary circuit including a controller and a secondary circuit for providing an output to the load. The power supply is arranged such that it utilizes substantially no current limiting in the secondary circuit. The load includes a plurality of high energy capacitors and a plurality of terminals. The terminals are connected to the capacitors such that the capacitors may be arranged in a first configuration for charging the load and may be arranged in a second configuration for discharging the load. | 03-10-2011 |
