Power Supplies
A simple general purpose desktop power supply used in electronic labs, with power output connector seen at lower-left and power input connector (not shown) located at the rear A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The primary function of a power supply is to convert electric current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load. As a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters. Some power supplies are separate standalone pieces of equipment, while others are built into the load appliances that they power. Examples of the latter include power supplies found in desktop computers and consumer electronics devices.

FAQ
- What is a Power Supply?
- A power supply is an electronic device that converts electrical energy from a source (such as a wall outlet or battery) into a form suitable for powering electronic devices and circuits.
- How does a Power Supply work?
- Power supplies work by taking the incoming electrical energy and converting it to a desired output voltage and current. This process may involve rectification, filtering, voltage regulation, and sometimes transformation (as in the case of switch-mode power supplies).
- What is the difference between AC and DC Power Supplies?
- AC (alternating current) power supplies convert alternating voltage from the wall outlet to a stable DC (direct current) output suitable for electronic devices. DC power supplies maintain a constant DC output from a DC input source.
- How do I choose the right Power Supply for my application?
- Consider factors like output voltage and current requirements, efficiency, form factor, mounting options, protection features, and environmental conditions. Consult datasheets and manufacturer resources for guidance.
