Q1: What is the difference with an AC-DC power supply?
An AC-DC power supply converts 220V/110V AC to DC, while a Buck DC-DC converter is only used in DC systems (e.g., from a 72V battery to 24V). The two are not interchangeable, and you need to select the appropriate equipment based on the type of power supply.
Q2: Can step down buck converter be used in weak power systems such as communication equipment, cameras, PLCs, etc.?
Yes, provided that the output voltage is stable and the ripple is low. If used in high-precision scenarios, it is recommended to choose industrial-grade products with EMI shielding, low ripple output and short-circuit protection.
Q3: What is the reason for the power jump or output power failure?
It could be the following situations:
- Overload protection activation (load exceeds rated)
- Abnormal input voltage (over or under voltage)
- Ambient temperature too high, temperature protection triggered
- Module aging or poor contact
