Power Supplies Selection Guide
Learn How to Select the Right Power Supply for Your Test Device
To achieve lower integration costs, better DUT (Device Under Test) protection, longer system uptime, and gain more benefits, selecting the right power supply is crucial.
The most critical criteria for power supply selection include meeting the requirements for maximum power, maximum voltage, and maximum current.
When choosing a power supply suitable for your needs, the primary factors to consider are the input voltage, output voltage, and output power capacity. Typically, you'll have options for input voltage, such as 120–240V single-phase (most common) or 230–480V three-phase. Using the wrong input voltage can lead to power supply failure.
It's essential to consider the installation location of the power supply and who will have access to the panel in the facility.

Furthermore, a suitable power supply choice is vital to achieve higher system performance, efficiency, product validation, regulatory compliance, and faster time-to-market. It's important to understand that power supplies and systems are not one-size-fits-all solutions, so understanding the specific power requirements of your application is critical for optimal selection. Failure to do so can result in performance losses, cost inefficiencies, delayed production, or development timelines, and suboptimal or non-compliant designs.
