Continuous supply: direct current and alternating current

An electrical supply aims to transform an alternating voltage in a direct voltage and generally to lower it.

DC or AC?

Direct current or DC is a current where electrons move in the same direction (from the positive pole to the negative pole). The other type of current is the alternating current or AC where electrons move in both ways.

Direct current is preferred in electronics and for devices functioning with a battery while alternating current has advantages for transporting the energy. 

To create a direct voltage from an alternating current, you can use continuous supplies from EASI-Spare. Our supplies transform AC (single phase 220V or three phase 380V) into direct voltage: supply 12v, supply 24v, supply 48v.

You can find an entire range of electrical supplies for:

- Transforming 220V in 12VDC

- Transforming 220V in 24VDC

- Transforming 220V in 48VDC

- Transforming 380V in 24VDC.

 

The various types of electrical supplies

There are two categories of power supplies: linear and switching.

The linear power supply provides a steady direct voltage by controlling the current supplied. These power supplies are chosen when the load is subject to interferences. It is mainly used in laboratories.

The switching power supply ensures the electrical regulation via components used by switching, like transistors (component with three terminals enabling to control a current).

Switching power supplies are used in devices with battery such as laptops, phone chargers, surveillance cameras…
