Most electrical engineers believe they have a good understanding of power supplies because they are relatively simple, single-function DC devices designed to output controlled voltages. However, there ...

This three-part series describes how to properly test a DC/DC power supply, and ensure that it works reliably over various operating conditions. This series is intended to provide the designer with a ...

The power supply on a computer transforms the alternating current from the wall outlet into a direct current flow that the computer's components can use. Testing the DC voltage output of the power ...

The power supply in your computer manages all of the power required to run each component of your computer. When this critical component begins to fail, your computer may power off unexpectedly, ...

How accuracy is defined in DC programmable power supplies How and why the power supply experiences voltage output errors How to wire test leads and sense leads for accurate measurements When testing ...

Before we go forward and run some of the tests that we are going to see hereinafter, let us check a few of the symptoms to understand if those tests are worth doing. We have mentioned some symptoms ...
