Custom power supplies are devices that have been modified to suit specific power supply requirements. These help convert electric energy from either DC to AC or the other way round.

Custom power supplies are devices that have been modified to suit specific power supply requirements. These help convert electric energy from either DC to AC or the other way round. The power supply design should be such that power is regulated from the source to the load. This should be at a constant rate irrespective of the voltage emanating from transmission lines or storage devices. The devices are procured from a power supply supplier who should be qualified and licensed to do so.

Before acquiring such devices, you should understand how they work. Normally every power supply supplier should be ready to provide guidelines. This is important not only as an aspect of marketing but as a way of ensuring safety. The nature of equipment required is dependent on a client’s proposal and the power supply design. Contrary to what many think, these devices do not generate power. Custom power supplies can be used as a stand-alone or be integrated with electronic equipment like computers.

Custom power supplies are designed based on amount of current needed, stability of output and the time they can run before recharging or refueling. LED lighting power is more efficient and saves energy. A conventional power supply design is simple. However, it requires large transformers whenever equipment with high current is used. Output can be regulated using voltage dividers but these reduce efficiency due to the energy they consume. You can always inquire from your local power supply supplier on the best devices for the project at hand.

An alternative to line frequency supplies is the switching power supply design. This is preferred due to its stability and efficiency. Nearly every enclosed power supply system uses this type. It is commonly used to power computers and household electronics. Your power supply supplier can recommend such devices like the UPS for your computers. This option may require other custom power supplies though it may cost you slightly more than the conventional option.

Batteries are common devices used with other custom power supplies. Their use is commonly found in homes and industries. Basically, batteries convert the energy stored in them to electrical energy. They are categorized as disposable or rechargeable. The former are used and later discarded after their useful life is over, while the latter are recharged several times. Based on the power supply design, batteries can be used in telephone exchanges, data centers, TV remote control units and watches among others. Batteries are readily available from any power supply supplier and other power supply shops.

Custom power supplies for industries are bulkier and more advanced though they use the same concept as that for domestic use devices. EPOS power supplies for industrial or military use are available for a wide range of equipment. It should be remembered that power supply design of a device is dictated by the use of that device. Some are inbuilt or connected parallel to the equipment being powered. It takes a professional power supply supplier to provide the right equipment to customers.
