Power Supplies
A power supply is an electronic instrument that provides either
Alternating (AC) or Direct (DC) Voltage/Current to an electronic circuit.
Applications
Power supplies find wide applications in:
Education - used in technical schools to demonstrate electrical theory
Design - used in circuit design to power up circuits
Service - used to power up circuit boards under repair
Maintenance - used to verify operation for set-up or repair equipment
Manufacturing - used as part of the manufacturing process to verify
operation parameters of designed equipment
Quality Control - used for final testing of equipment
Series and Parallel Operation
There may be times when you require either more voltage or more
current than your power supply provides. B+K Precision’s single output
power supplies can be hooked up in series to provide more voltage or in
parallel to provide more current. On B+K Precision’s triple output power
supplies, two or three of the outputs can be connected in series or
parallel by a mere press of a button.
Which Power Supply is Best
for Your Application?
As with any test instrument purchase, you need to consider present and
future requirements.
What is the maximum voltage required?
What is the maximum current required?
Are multiple outputs needed?
Review the selection chart on the following page for a preliminary choice,
