What is an AC power supply?

common problems 6370

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.

  • How do I test a DC power supply?

    478

    There are several ways to test a DC power supply, here we only introduce a few common methods. Conductivity test: You can use the multimeter's conductivity mode to accomplish this test. Touch the positive and negative terminals of the power supply with the multimeter pen. If it is on, the multimeter will beep. This test is designed to determine if the power supply is delivering power and if there are any breaks in the wiring. Voltage...

    Using an arbitrary waveform generator, test engineers can verify the design of a circuit in just a few steps: (1) activate the output control; (2) select the waveform to be generated; (3) connect the output to the device under test; and (4) verify the performance of the device under test using an oscilloscope. The following is an example of the design of the output control circuit.
