A switching supply can
work at very high speeds and you'll generally find that they work between 10Khz
and 1Mhz Because this is using a higher frequency and generally works at a
higher voltage it means that you can use a much smaller transformer which contains
a smaller smoothing capacitor This is completely opposite to how linear works,
they tend to work at frequencies which are supplied by the maintenance and
require much larger capacitors meaning you have a bigger transformer Another
major advantage of using high voltage switching power supply is that they are
much lighter in weight and because of this are also much smaller than linear
Pricing of these is crucial and because of her size that are lower distribution
and shipping costs
In order to protect
your device these have built-in safety features, it would use something called
a crowbar circuit which can help to protect the device from any harm and
they'll also have current limiting abilities Sometimes you can get a high
current power drawn and a switching device is able to detect this and 12v to 200v dc dc converter will
prevent any damage happening to your device One of the main features is to
protect the circuit having the ability to shut down will prevent any damage
happening.
