ABSTRACT:
A power supply circuit capable of operation with 115 V.A.C. (low range) or 230 V.A.C. (high range) line voltages, having a transformer with a primary winding arrangement which can be switched by a relay to accomodate either voltage range. A line voltage sensing circuit is coupled to a low voltage tap on the primary winding to sense the line voltage. When the line voltage is in the high range the voltage sensing circuit leaves the relay de-energized; and the sensing circuit energizes the relay to switch the primary winding to the appropriate configuration when the line voltage is in the low range.
