How to Select the Best Power Supply FAQ

If your power supply's output is not meeting its specifications, please follow these troubleshooting steps:

  1. Check the Load Conditions: First, verify your load conditions. To isolate the issue, disconnect the load from the power supply before measuring the output, especially if you suspect load fluctuations are affecting performance.
  2. Inspect the Measurement Setup: Check your measurement wiring. Ensure that the test leads are not excessively long and are routed away from any potential noise sources.
  3. Verify the Operating Environment: Confirm that the ambient temperature around the power supply is stable and within the specified operating range.
  4. Allow for Warm-Up Time: Ensure that the power supply has completed its required warm-up period, as some models may not meet their specifications immediately after power-on.
  5. Check the Applicable Specification Range: Verify that your operating point is within the guaranteed specification range. Certain models do not guarantee full performance when operated below 10% of their rated output.

If the issue persists after following these steps, please contact your local sales office for further assistance.
