Hierzu wird die Netzspannung gleichgerichtet, zwischengespeichert und mit 50kHz über Leistungstransistoren derart an den Leistungsübertrager angelegt, dass die sekundärseitig wieder gleichgerichtete Spannung nach den **Glättungsdrosseln** an den Ausgangsbuchsen einen Strom entsprechend des vorgegebenen Sollstroms ergibt.
