What is an AC power supply?

common problems 6390

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 resistance in electricity? This article will cover the basics of resistance, how to calculate resistance, and resistors. Many people have heard the word "resistance" when they were students, but may still not understand it. However, because they don't understand it, they are hesitant to ask people about it now. Simply put, resistance is a force that flows in the opposite direction of the current. Resistance...

  • What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer/signal analyzer?

    We usually use time as a frame of reference, focusing on when certain specific events will occur. This includes electrical events. Oscilloscopes allow you to view the instantaneous value of a particular electrical event (or the voltage value of some other event converted by an appropriate transducer) over time. In other words, we can use an oscilloscope to view the waveform of a signal in the time domain. Fourier theory...

    This article describes its basic information and how it differs from an analog multimeter. ■ Summary The condition of an electronic device needs to be determined using a measuring instrument. For electronic devices whose condition cannot be determined visually, it is recommended that measurements be made with a digital multimeter. In this section, basic information about digital multimeters such as "What is a digital multimeter" and "Is there a difference between a digital multimeter and an analog multimeter" will be explained in detail...

  • What are the main types of spectrum analyzers?

    549

    There are two main types of spectrum analyzers: sweep tuning analyzers and real-time analyzers. Modern spectrum analyzers use digital signal processing to provide more measurement capabilities, making it easier for you to interpret your measurements. Whether it's a swept-tuning analyzer or a real-time spectrum analyzer, they both display the change in amplitude with frequency. However, exactly how each analyzer handles...
