What’s the Best AC Input for Your DC Power Supply? Tuesday, July 30, 2024 von: Craig Frahm

An alternating current (AC) input feeds AC power into your direct current (DC) power supply. Choosing the right AC input for your power converter or switching power supply is critical for ensuring adequate performance, efficiency, and reliability. AC input refers to the type of alternative current input power that feeds into the machine. The device then converts the input voltage and input current …

Safeguarding DC Programmable Power Supplies: Protecting Against Inductive, Capacitive and Oscillatory Loads Friday, August 25, 2023 von: Craig Frahm

Connecting a DC power supply to a load may seem clear-cut, but it can become challenging in certain situations. While power supply manufacturers design their products to be stable when powering various loads, certain load characteristics can pose risks and even damage the power supply’s output stage. Inductive and capacitive loads and loads with rapid changes in load current can create conditions …

Reaping Energy Savings With Regenerative Power Tuesday, August 8, 2023 von: Craig Frahm

Programmable DC power supplies have long been instrumental in power electronics and battery testing. These supplies are extensively used for performance testing and product characterizations. However, a common issue arises when dealing with excess energy generated during burn-in tests, battery cycling or discharging energy storage systems before shipment. Traditionally, this surplus energy is …

Repurposing and Recycling EV Batteries Tuesday, July 6, 2021 von: Craig Frahm

It’s no secret that there are more electric vehicles (EVs) on the road today than ever. Since 2015, the number of electric vehicles worldwide has grown from 1.4 million to more than 8 million today. Because EVs emit far fewer hydrocarbons than vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, they are an important part of the plan to combat climate change. EVs do, however, present other challenges …
