About AC Power Sources

AC power sources provide output often with adjustable ranges of current, voltage and frequency. They are used in testing motors and many other kinds of electrical equipment for which input values may vary. The output frequency of AC power sources can typically be well into the kilohertz range.  AC power sources can be benchtop, DIN rail, rack mount, or cabinet style.  The nominal AC input for AC power sources can be 115 VAC, 230 VAC, or 155/230 VAC selectable.


Products & Services Related to AC Power Sources

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
