  • R&D equipment

The required control behavior should be confirmed according to the application before selecting a model.

Adjustable vs Programmable DC Power Supply

Not every high-power application requires the same level of control.

Adjustable DC Power Supply

An adjustable power supply allows the operator or external system to modify output voltage or current within the supported range.

It is suitable for:

  • Laboratory testing

Depending on the selected model, control requirements may include:

  • Remote ON/OFF

  • External voltage adjustment

  • External current adjustment

  • Analog control signal

  • Dry contact control

  • Digital communication

Before ordering, specify the exact control method required by your system.

Control Interface Required:
Local / Analog / Remote ON-OFF / Digital Communication

This helps ensure the correct high-power series is selected.

How to Choose a High Power DC Power Supply

1. Determine Required Continuous Power

Start with the maximum continuous load requirement.

Typical selection levels in the current Leyu high-power range include:

  • 1200W

  • 1500W

  • 3000W

  • 5000W

Do not select a power supply based only on peak load unless the product specification confirms that the peak operating condition is supported.

2. Confirm Required Output Voltage

Determine whether your equipment requires:

  • Fixed DC voltage

  • Adjustable DC voltage

  • Wide voltage adjustment

Also identify the minimum and maximum voltage needed during operation.

3. Calculate Maximum Current

Use:

Current (A) = Power (W) ÷ Voltage (V)

A lower output voltage at the same power level requires higher current.

This directly affects:

  • Wiring

  • Terminals

  • Connectors

  • Cooling

  • Protection design

4. Determine Whether CV/CC Is Required

If the application requires both voltage control and current limiting, select a model with suitable CV/CC capability.

This is particularly relevant for:

  • Testing

  • Charging

  • Power electronics

  • Variable loads

5. Determine the Required Control Method

Ask whether the system needs:

  • Manual adjustment

  • External potentiometer

  • Analog control

  • Remote ON/OFF

  • PLC integration

  • Digital communication

A simple adjustable supply may be sufficient for manual testing, while automated production systems may benefit from a programmable model.

6. Evaluate Future Power Expansion

If future system power may increase, consider whether parallel operation is required.

Selected programmable models can provide a more scalable architecture than one fixed high-power unit.

7. Confirm AC Input Requirements

High-power supplies can have different AC input specifications depending on model and power level.

Always verify:

  • AC input voltage

  • Input current

  • Single-phase / applicable input configuration

  • Circuit breaker requirements

  • Wiring size

before final selection.

8. Evaluate Cooling and Installation

Kilowatt-level power supplies generate substantial heat.

Confirm:

  • Cooling method

  • Fan airflow

  • Cabinet ventilation

  • Ambient temperature

  • Installation clearance

  • Air inlet and outlet space

Do not block cooling paths or install high-power units in tightly enclosed areas without appropriate thermal design.

9. Check Output Regulation and Ripple

Testing and precision industrial applications may require tighter output quality than general machinery.

Depending on the application, review:

  • Voltage regulation

  • Current regulation

  • Ripple and noise

  • Load regulation

  • Line regulation

before selecting the final model.

10. Confirm Protection Functions

Depending on the product series, high-power supplies may include protection against conditions such as:

  • Over-voltage

  • Over-current

  • Overload

  • Short circuit

  • Over-temperature

The exact protection behavior varies by model and should be confirmed from the individual technical specification.
