Understanding the basics of AC-DC power supply
All the digital world of today wouldn’t exist without power supplies. They offer different systems with the voltage and amperage they need to operate. The first and foremost function of these power supplies is the conversion of the AC mains electricity into the DC voltage by the current electronic circuits. The article is about AC-DC power supplies , including everything you need to know about AC-DC power supply with applications in modern technical fields. Understanding AC and DC: To explain AC and DC power sources, one should first be familiar with AC and DC. Voltage polarity is continuously lagging behind between the positive and negative half-cycles in AC but it changes its direction with time with a wave-like motion. The polarity and magnitude of DC voltage remain constant in addition to the direction of current flow. Batteries and adapters work on a direct current (DC) while the utility grid works on an alternating current (AC). Overview of AC-DC power supplies: AC-DC
