Inverter type
As follows, a method in which the input is converted 4(3) times before output
- Convert commercial power supply or other AC input to DC
(or DC from the beginning) - Convert to high-frequency AC using an inverter
- Convert the voltage with a transformer
- Convert to DC with a rectifier circuit
Since a transformer is used in step 3, the input and output can be isolated, and there is also the advantage that the voltage level can be changed arbitrarily.
