- How highly accurate programmable power supplies are used to control heater temperatures
Heaters are often used in the manufacturing of semiconductors to bond dies to wafers. For this process, the temperature has to be controlled accurately to ensure repeatability…
- Why limited lifetime warranty power supplies chosen for cathodic protection systems
Cathodic protection techniques are used to reduce metal corrosion by making the structure the cathode and a more easily corrodible, sacrificial metal to act as the anode.…
- Dual output, rack mount power supplies save space for a wafer stepper manufacturer
The word “stepper” is a shortened version of term “step-and-repeat camera”. Used in semiconductor wafer fabrication for ICs, the stepper projects an image on to a silicon…
- Why convection cooled 200W power supplies are selected for a medical laser
Medical low power lasers use flexible fibre cables to deliver a precise beam of light for a number of applications including ophthalmology. This branch of medicine deals…
- Which high voltage DC-DC converter provides isolated 24V for large UPS
An Uninterruptible Power Supply provides emergency power for electrical equipment in the event of a utility mains failure. They are typically used to keep data centres, communication…
- How programmable power supplies are being used to test heating and cooling systems for electric cars
Electric and hybrid vehicles use high voltage batteries in the range of 300 to 400Vdc to power the motor. Unlike petrol and diesel cars, an electric heater…
- 2400W programmable power supply for automotive electric motor testing
The DC battery voltage in a vehicle can vary over a wide range, normally 9 to 16V, but under cold start conditions it can go as low…
- Why were programmable power supplies used in a Hardware-in-the-Loop tester?
The complexity of electronics used in vehicles continues to grow, driven by the need for enhanced safety and reduction in emissions. This has created a requirement to…
- Programmable power supplies run electroluminescent lamps to test solar panels
Solar panels are tested to identify defects and measure their output capability, which can deteriorate with age. Electroluminescent lamps (EL) are used to simulate sunlight and the…
- Low noise Modular power supply assists digital pathology
Digital pathology converts the delicate glass sample slides into digital slides through the use of scanning for electronic storage. This allows records to be permanently archived or…
