Q1: What’s the difference between CV and CC modes on a linear regulated DC power supply?
Linear regulated DC power supply operates differently in constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes. In CV mode, it keeps the output voltage stable even when the load resistance changes, making it suitable for powering most electronic devices that need a steady voltage. In CC mode, it maintains a fixed output current regardless of load variations, which is ideal for battery charging and other applications requiring consistent current. Many linear regulated DC power supplies support both modes to meet different application needs.
Q2: When should I use CV mode, and when should I use CC mode?
Use constant voltage (CV) mode when your application requires a stable output voltage, such as powering electronic components, circuits, or devices that need a fixed voltage supply. Choose constant current (CC) mode when you need to maintain a steady output current, which is typical for battery charging, LED driving, and other current‑sensitive loads. Our linear regulated DC power supply supports automatic switching between CV and CC modes based on the load conditions, ensuring smooth and reliable operation without manual adjustment.
