Unlocking Efficiency: How to Choose the Perfect AC Input for Your DC Power Supply
By Jhon Doe
Understanding AC Input for DC Power Supplies
AC input refers to the alternating current provided to a DC power supply. The supply converts the AC power into a direct current through a rectification and filtering process within the power supply. The rectifier requires a high-quality AC input to perform efficiently.
Different applications and environments require specific types of AC input power to ensure stable and efficient operation. You must consider not only the AC input voltage but also the waveform, current, amps, and stability of the power being produced. Generally, AC inputs produce power in the square, triangle, and sinusoidal waveforms.
There are several types of AC inputs commonly used in DC power supplies. These include single-phase, three-phase, and universal. Here’s a closer look at each one.

The Critical Role of Wind Noise Testing in the EV Era
The increasing popularity and growing offering of electric vehicles (EVs), are changing many aspects associated with vehicle sound and acoustics (see our posts related to the in-cabin soundscape of the EV, for example). The classic issue of pass-by noise testing is no exception. Still a crucial aspect of automotive design and regulation, it has evolved to ensure that EVs (and other vehicles) not only meet the maximum noise limits set by various national and international regulations, but also adhere to new minimum noise requirements.
