Information about DC Power Systems

DC power systems provide continuous DC voltage through multiple outputs. Typically, these devices accept single-phase or three-phase AC inputs with voltages of 115 or 230 VAC and frequencies of 50, 60, or 400 Hz. Most DC power systems include a battery backup for continuous output. Devices with multiple outputs can provide a range of DC voltages. To compensate for increases in temperature, some DC power systems are fan cooled, water cooled, or include an integral heat sink. Overload and overvoltage features provide additional protection. Weatherproof DC power systems are rated for outdoor use and can withstand a variety of environmental conditions.

AC Power Sources

AC power sources provide alternating power and typically have adjustable output values for the testing of component response at various voltage, current and frequency levels.

Computer Power Supplies

Computer power supplies convert alternating current (AC) line to direct current (DC) line, needed by the computer.

Current Sources

Current sources provide reliable current for electrical component testing and for powering specialized components.

DC Power Supplies

DC power supplies accept an input power and output the desired form of DC power. Common types of DC power supplies include linear power supplies, switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) type power supplies.

DC-AC Inverters

DC to AC inverters are used for converting direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). They are also known as DC to AC converters.

DC-DC Converters

DC-DC converters accept DC input and provide regulated and/or isolated DC output in various applications including computer flash memory, telecommunications equipment, and process control systems.

RF Generators

RF generators and high frequency power supplies provide the power required for plasma generation, induction heating, and radar or communications applications.
