Frequently Asked Questions
What is a configurable power supply?
A configurable power supply offers superior flexibility compared to traditional power supplies with fixed output parameters. It lets users adjust output voltage, current levels, and the number of outputs within a certain range to suit specific application needs. These power supplies feature a modular design with slots that users can customize by selecting different modules with various voltage and power levels. This configuration allows for precise regulation of DC-DC current, tailoring the power supply to the application's requirements.
How do I select the correct Configurable/Modular PSU for my needs?
Start by listing all the voltage and power requirements for your application. Then, select a size that fits your system or equipment. Prioritize units that offer efficiency, low leakage, and low EMI, along with modularity options that suit your needs. Look for features that simplify installation and control and ensure the unit complies with safety standards relevant to your application. Consider the cooling system required for your use case, and opt for a product with a longer warranty and strong technical support.
When are configurable power supplies the best option?
Configurable power supplies are ideal when standard or custom power supplies don't fully meet your needs or add complexity. They are particularly useful when your application requires multiple outputs with unique voltage, current, or power levels. Configurable power supplies can reduce costs by letting you configure these outputs from a single standard package with suitable modules and eliminating the need for multiple custom or standard units. They are also well-suited for development and testing processes, offering the flexibility to adapt to changing and evolving requirements.
