Power Supplies

Power supplies, also called power supply units (PSUs), are electrical devices that take electric current from a source and convert it to the right format for a specific device to function. Most common household outlets provide alternating current (AC), while electronic devices typically need direct current (DC) to operate. So, power supplies take AC and change it to DC with the correct voltage and current levels. These hardware components can be either external or internal, and the later types are built into the device that they power, such as a computer or television. External power supplies are separate units that are plugged into the device that they power, such as a laptop or phone charger.

Common Types of Power Supplies:

There are two main types based on the conversion they perform:

• AC-DC Power Supplies – These are the most common type of power supplies. AC to DC power supplies are designed to convert AC power (from a wall outlet) into DC for electronic devices like computers, TVs, and game consoles.
• DC-DC Power Supplies – These units take DC power from a source like a battery or another power supply and convert it to a different DC voltage level. DC-to-DC power supplies are often used in portable electronics or for powering specific components within a larger device.

Our Range of Power Supply Units (PSUs) Includes:

Our range of power supplies comes in the following types.

• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) – A UPS provides backup power to your electronic equipment by storing energy in batteries and then releasing it to the equipment when the power goes out. UPS systems are essential for protecting critical equipment, such as computers, servers, and medical devices, from data loss and damage during power outages.
• Switching Power Supplies – Using electronic switches to convert electrical energy, switching power supplies are more efficient and versatile and convert multiple input voltages to a variety of output voltages. 
• Linear Power Supplies – A linear power supply converts electrical energy using a transformer and a voltage regulator. It is simpler and less expensive, making it ideal for applications such as powering audio equipment, where a clean and stable output voltage is important.

Typical Applications and Environments of Power Supplies:

Power supplies, depending on their types, are indispensable in a wide array of environments, providing reliable and stable power solutions. Some typical applications and environments of power supplies include:

• Consumer Electronics
• Industrial Equipment
• Telecommunications
• Medical Equipment
• Renewable Energy Systems
• Automotive Applications
• Aerospace and Defense
• Offices and Homes.
