De plus, une unité de commande (15) commute la bobine de la bobine primaire qui fournit l'électricité au moins deux fois pendant un cycle de déviation de tension d'une alimentation électrique à courant alternatif (1), ce qui amène l'alimentation électrique à courant alternatif à fonctionner en tant qu'alimentation électrique qui utilise le transformateur (13) avec un rapport de transformation approprié correspondant à la tension d'alimentation électrique changeante. En diminuant le rapport de transformation et en exécutant une opération de commutation appropriée lorsque la tension d'alimentation électrique est élevée, l'efficacité peut être augmentée et, par l'augmentation du rapport de transformation lorsque la tension d'alimentation électrique est faible, il est possible de distribuer une énergie prescrite même avec une faible tension d'alimentation électrique.
