* Pulse power supply

This unit has a built-in power regulator which

c

onverts the power supplied by the 12 V DC car

battery into high speed pulses using a semiconductor

switch. These pulses are stepped up by the built-in

pulse transformer and separated into both positive

and negative power supplies before being converted

into direct current again. This is to regulate

fluctuating voltage from the car battery. This light-

weight power supply system provides a highly

efficient power supply with a low impedance output.
