How do power supplies work?
A power supply converts electricity from the original power source into the correct format and voltage required for your device. It's important to know how to choose the best power supply that can deliver maximum power to your appliance.
Whether you need to change the voltage up or down, convert power to a direct current or regulate power to produce a smoother outcoming voltage, these functions can help to determine which type of power product you need to get the most out of your device.
What power products do you have available?
We stock a variety of power supplies to suit different applications, including:
Solar panels
Solar technology helps to reduce your carbon footprint once installed onto your commercial property. Providing you with system stability and independence from the grid, you can generate your own electricity and reduce your energy bills.
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
PoE facilitates the transfer of both power and data through a single ethernet cable. PoE devices work by delivering a direct current voltage to a powered device, ensuring that this device receives the necessary power without the need for an alternative local power source.
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies)
A UPS is an essential part of any PC, server, router, or data center. Providing a battery-powered backup supply, a UPS ensures that computers and similar devices instantly switch to this power supply should their main power source malfunction.
Transformers
An electric transformer is used to supply electricity from one circuit to another by changing the magnetic field. Their primary function is to step up or step down the electric voltage from a primary source to a secondary source. Application examples include charging batteries, air conditioning unit functionality, and power transmission from power plants.
Batteries
A battery's primary purpose is to supply an electronic device with enough power to function. This occurs through chemical reactions within the battery delivering a flow of electrons to provide an electric current. We have over 3,000 products available in our battery range.
Solar chargers and inverters
A vital component of your solar PV system, solar inverters convert the energy output from solar panels into usable electricity. They work by channeling direct current (DC) output from solar panels through a transformer, lowering the voltage and changing this to an alternating current (AC).
Inverters (DC-AC power supplies)
DC-AC converters turn direct current into alternating current; they are primarily used by engineers for power conversion where a particular frequency is required. They can be used for a multitude of appliances, from battery storage systems to photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Converters (DC-DC power supplies)
An essential power product for use between systems with different voltage levels, DC-DC converters convert a source of direct current from one voltage level to another. They are often used in battery-powered appliances, making them popular for small, portable devices.
