The transformer fault protection module is connected with the input voltage detection end of the transformer control device.

[0047] The chip power supply generation module is connected to the high-voltage starting module to convert the wide-range input power supply into the power supply of the controller. The chip power supply generation module supplies power voltage to the power supply controller, and when the secondary output voltage is 0V, the power supply controller IC is powered by the built-in high-voltage starting module 401. The design of the power supply controller IC has a wide VCC power supply range of 5-50V to ensure that the output constant voltage of the power supply is CV wide range.
