Working Principle of VI-PU41-EWX

The working principle of the VI-PU41-EWX AC/DC converter is based on a “transformer-like” topology. Basically, it consists of a power transformer, an inductor, and a switch that are connected in parallel and arranged to form a transformerlike circuit. The input AC voltage is applied to the primary of the power transformer and the rectified current is then sent to the load through the secondary of the transformer. At the same time, the switch will open and close at a certain frequency (according to the frequency of the input voltage). This will create a pulsed current in the secondary of the transformer, which is then sent to the load as a DC voltage. The output voltage generated by the VI-PU41-EWX AC/DC converter is adjustable and can be set according to the needs of the application.

Conclusion

The VI-PU41-EWX is an AC/DC converter designed for applications in the industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics markets. It features high efficiency, multi-output capability, and short circuit protection. It is based on a “transformer-like” topology that results in reliable power conversion and adjustable output voltage.
