At present, the amount of data has exploded, the value of data has risen sharply, cloud computing has developed rapidly, and the scale of datacenters has maintained a rapid growth trend in recent years.

(3) For the safety requirements of power supply products, the isolation between high voltage and low voltage is required, so as to prevent high-voltage parts from being connected in series to the low-voltage circuit during on-line maintenance to cause personal injury to maintenance operators.


(4) Under the trend of continuous increase of the voltage level, the size of the medium-voltage power supply system will become larger and larger, a structure capable of reducing a creepage distance and clearance, having a small number of parts, and having a small system size and a light weight becomes necessary.
