AC-DC power supplies

The large variety of AC-DC power supplies on the market is mainly driven by different application requirements, but is also affected by industry regulations, the laws of physics and market trends.

Efficiency rating is no longer the sole consideration when selecting power supplies. New environmental directives are increasingly driving manufacturers to consider other factors that will limit energy losses; such as digital remote control and management, low standby and no-load power consumption. Other markets require increased safety measures and enforce higher isolation ratings such as on ‘household’ EN60335, medical EN60601 or more stringent environment requirements such as ATEX/Ex.
