Electric power supply distributors maintain inventories for quick shipments. Some of the common products include converters, AC/DC, switching, linear, regulated and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Technology continues advancing the need for power sources. Size, power, dependability and price weigh in on this competitive marketplace.
Electronic mechanisms and devices rely on electrical power. A power supply transfers some form of electric energy to a desired load. Typically, a wall outlet’s AC power converts a power supply to regulated DC power. Common applications and environments include industrial, laboratory, PC, telecommunications, OEM, office and medical fields. When buying from a power supply distributor consider the following:
1. Understand the power supplies application and environment from the distributors of electrical power supplies.
2. Look for the power supplies' certifications, approvals or codes such as UL, TUV, IEC, ANSI, ISO and others.
3. Get the right power supply to fit your business plan, such as DC-DC, AC or UPS models.
Find DC to DC power suppliers
These power supply converters provide low to medium voltage conversion within a 0.2 to 150 watt range with higher ranges well over several hundred watts.
Locate AC power supply distributors
These power supplies typically use 110 to 230V inputs and have the widest range of applications.
Buy an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
This type of power supply connects to an outlet on one end and a device on the other. Its main function focuses on continual power through outages, surges, and other anomalies through battery power backup.
Choose your products from these power supply distributors
Each power supply distributor carries a nice selection for many applications.
- Consider the three basic models of power supply distribution when ordering. Buy a standard already made model, a custom model for more specific applications or a standard model with modifications. Naturally, standard power supplies offer cost advantages over custom-made models.
