1. A power adapter with two modules with separate enclosures, the power adapter comprising:
- an AC input terminal;
an AC-DC power converter module configured for packaging in a first enclosure which is in electrical communication with the AC input terminal;
a DC-DC power converter module configured for packaging in a second enclosure; and
an output terminal configured to provide high current and low voltage;
a first cord between the AC-DC power converter module and the DC-DC power converter module carrying a high voltage of approximately 400 volts;
a second cord electrically connecting the DC-DC power converter module to the output terminal;
wherein the second cord is of a constant minimum length to provide for a constant high efficiency and constant load regulation; and
wherein the first enclosure comprises a first surface to provide for heat dissipation and the second enclosure comprises a second surface to provide for heat dissipation wherein heat dissipation from either the first enclosure or the second enclosure is independent of the other enclosure.
