AC DC Converters

AC DC converters are devices that allow electricity to be transmitted between ac and dc power sources. In order to be able to use two different types of electricity, one has to employ an AC DC converter. This is an overview of an example AC DC converter, the LEP240F-24-ST, and its application field and the principles of its working.

LEP240F-24-ST application field

The LEP240F-24-ST is a medium power AC DC converter. Its maximum output power is 240 W. It is suitable for DC power conversion, power supply and switching applications. It is particularly suitable for industrial automation, such as metering systems, power tools, medical and laboratory equipment, electronic instrumentation and other DC power applications.

LEP240F-24-ST working principle

The LEP240F-24-ST AC DC converter works by converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). This is done through a process called Rectification, which involves introducing two semiconductor diodes into the circuit. These diodes constantly alternate current flowing in the circuit by converting it to only one direction. Additionally, the use of a transformer helps to increase the voltage and reduce the current. After all these steps are taken, the current is then ready to be used in the application.

Conclusion

The LEP240F-24-ST AC DC converter is a useful device that is capable of transmitting electricity between AC and DC power sources. Through the process known as rectification, the alternations of the current are accurately and precisely achieved. This makes the LEP240F-24-ST AC DC converter an ideal choice for a wide range of applications in industrial automation, such as metering systems, power tools and electronic instrumentation.
