What is an AC power supply?

common problems 11080

An AC power supply is responsible for providing AC power to the load. The power input can be either AC or DC. You need an AC power supply because the power from the wall outlet does not meet the specifications of the load. In order for the load to operate properly, you need to transform the AC power supply to tune the AC power from the supply to the voltage, current, and frequency required by the device. This can be accomplished by raising or lowering the voltage and then filtering the signal.

You can use an AC power supply for testing. The AC power supply can emulate grid outages, harmonics, surges, or other events that may cause the device under test (DUT) to fail.

  • What is an oscilloscope?

    934

    An oscilloscope is a test instrument used to capture and display a graph of the waveform of an electrical signal over time. For example, it can graph voltage (y-axis) versus time (x-axis) on its display. Oscilloscopes are powerful tools for designing and testing electronic equipment. They play a very important role in determining whether system equipment components are working properly and which components are malfunctioning. They...

  • What is VNA?

    959

    Vector network analyzers (VNAs) are test instruments that measure electrical network parameters. They are essential for radio frequency (RF) and microwave component analysis of a wide variety of passive and active devices including filters, antennas and power amplifiers. Network analyzers are ideal for transmission, reflection and impedance measurements as well as s-parameter measurements during design and production. Network analyzers...
