Acme Electric - Power Supply Product Line

Normally, the current created by an unregulated power supply will fluctuate because of the variance in the load and AC supply voltage. An Acme Electric Linear Power Supply is useful because it has linear regulators to protect both the circuit and the power supply from over current complications. An adjustable linear power supply is an essential piece of equipment for the laboratories and service shops that require precision. The Acme Electric Switching Power Supply is lighter than the Linear Power Supply with the same power rating. The Switching Power Supply is also equipped with built-in safety technology, such as the on board circuit breaker. Acme Electric's Switching Power Supplies convert the AC source to a high voltage. This high voltage is then used to produce a DC current and voltage. A higher voltage allowes for a switching power supply to be more efficient and require less AC current to produce the equivalent DC current of a Linear Power Supply. This results in less heat and a smaller Switching Power Supply package. Switching Power Supplies are often found in consumer electronics.
