Factory-direct pricing on our high-performance 0–100A, 0–30V linear DC power supply—now with switching-mode topology for a robust 3000W DC output. Designed for precision and reliability, this unit delivers fully adjustable voltage and current, accepts 110V/220V±10% AC input, and features industry-leading constant voltage (CV) / constant current (CC) output precision and exceptional efficiency. Built to perform, it operates continuously at full load for over 16 hours, making it the ideal choice for demanding industrial and laboratory applications where consistent, stable power is non-negotiable.
Q1: What are the characteristics of the main circuit of a linear DC power supply?
The main circuit of a linear DC power supply consists of a high-power transistor connected in series (or multiple transistors in parallel) at the output end of a thyristor power supply. The control circuit only needs to provide a small current to the base of the transistor to precisely control the large current it outputs, enabling the power supply system to further stabilize the voltage on the basis of the thyristor power supply. Its voltage regulation performance is 1–3 orders of magnitude higher than that of switching power supplies or thyristor power supplies.
Q2: Where does the main power loss of a linear DC power supply come from?
Main power loss in a linear DC power supply comes from the power transistor (also known as the regulator) connected in series at the output. This transistor typically has a voltage drop of around 10V, and for every 1A of output current, it consumes 10W of power inside the supply. For example, a 500V 5A power supply has an internal loss of 50W, which accounts for 2% of its total output power.
