About High Voltage Power Supplies

High voltage power supplies utilize linear technology to provide one or more DC outputs at voltage levels of hundreds or thousands of volts. They are frequently used in specialized applications such as telecommunications, video technology and medical equipment. Some have outputs that are adjustable, either locally or via computer interface.  Important specifications to consider when searching for high voltage power supplies include power supply style, input voltage, output specifications, user interface, and environment.


Products & Services Related to High Voltage Power Supplies
AC-DC Adapters
AC-DC adapters accept AC input voltage directly from a wall outlet, and output DC voltage.
Current Sources
Current sources provide reliable current for electrical component testing and for powering specialized components.
DC Power Systems
DC power systems provide continuous DC power through multiple outputs.  Most DC power systems include a battery backup, temperature compensation, and other features.
Medical Power Supplies
Medical power supplies produce conditioned outputs for medical devices, instruments, and equipment.
Power Rectifiers
Power rectifiers are electrical devices that convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). They are an integral part of telecom rectifiers for the telecommunications industry, and in battery chargers, DC power systems, and other power system devices.
Power Supplies
Power supplies are devices that produce AC or DC power.  This grouping includes current sources, DC power supplies, AC-DC adapters, DC-DC converters, AC power sources, and DC-AC inverters.
Programmable Power Supplies
Programmable power supplies are digitally controlled power sources that provide accurate and adjustable levels of voltage, current, and frequency. They include a processor, voltage/current programming circuits, current shunt, and voltage/current read-back circuits.
