A programmable power source offers adjustable output voltage and current in alternating waveforms. They are important for testing devices that run on AC power, like appliances and industrial equipment. A programmable power supply includes current programming circuitry, voltage and a processor. The following are uses of programmable power supplies.
Uses of Programmable Power Supplies
A programmable power supply makes it possible to supply power by current, voltage, and frequency. While conventional approaches to offering power can be helpful, such approaches cannot provide requirements, particularly for equipment under development. Programmable power supplies offer adjustable and stable voltage and frequency conversion in a clean output and protect from errors from the grid. They correctly measure input and output from a device and the grid. Integrated circuits run on constant voltage with no control over the current.
Types of Programmable Power Supplies
The classification of programmable power supplies is first categorized by the kind of current they control and monitor. DC programmable power supplies are made to offer stable voltage, while AC programmable power supplies offer AC waveforms and stabilized voltage. In addition, certain forms of AC programmable power supplies act as frequency stabilizers. Alternatively, DC programmable power supplies offer output voltage in the ten thousand of volts. They come in rack mount, PCB mount, benchtop and module with some models capable of AC/DC input. Programmable DC power supplies are further grouped as constant current and constant voltage.
