Higher efficiency means less heat An essential factor for low heat generation in the power supply is, a high efficiency of the unit. The efficiency value describes the ratio of output power to input power of a power supply. The difference is converted into heat as loss. The advantage of high efficiency is obvious on […]
Derating is a protective measure which allows the use of power supplies at high temperatures, at high altitudes or in alternative mounting orientations. In this blog article you will learn what you should consider when it comes to derating. Most power supply manufacturers specify ratings for lifetime, output current, and reliability (e.g. MTBF) for their […]
A high inrush current is problematic for an efficient and simplified system design. Therefore power supply manufacturers try to keep AC inrush as low as possible. In this blog article you will learn why inrush current occurs in power supplies and which methods manufacturers apply to minimize it. Probably most of us already have noticed […]
An uninterruptible power supply is essential in certain industries: If manufacturing processes are disrupted due to power interruptions, high costs can be incurred. There is also a risk of data loss and damaged systems. DC-UPS modules reduce this risk by bridging power outages or load fluctuations with the help of batteries or electrochemical double layer […]
Increasing energy efficiency is a crucial factor in the fight against climate crisis. In this BLOG article you will learn how efficient power supplies can help to reduce CO2 emissions and why this also leads to financial advantages for companies. Can a power supply contribute to environmental protection? Successful protection of our environment starts small. In […]
