Is the rectifier module a switching power supply?

Hey, man, many people are a little confused about whether the rectifier module is a switching power supply. Is the rectifier module a switching power supply? The answer is no.

First of all, let's understand what a switching power supply is:

Switching power supply is a kind of power supply that uses modern power electronic technology to control the time ratio of switching on and off to maintain a stable output voltage. Switching power supplies are generally composed of pulse width modulation (PWM) control ICs and MOSFETs. Switching power supply products are widely used in industrial automation control, military equipment, scientific research equipment, LED lighting, industrial control equipment, communication equipment, power equipment, instrumentation, medical equipment, semiconductor refrigeration and heating and other fields.

The core of the switching power supply is to convert the AC power of the power frequency to a higher frequency and then perform voltage conversion. This process is difficult to use AC power directly, and it is easier to use DC power, so there must be an alternating and straight process.

Any electronic product needs a power supply. To be precise, a transformer is used to reduce the AC power supply voltage to the required low voltage, and then the AC voltage is converted into a single-direction DC voltage by a rectifier; of course, filtering and isolation are also required to prevent frequency Higher electromagnetic interference current passes through, while ensuring personal safety.

Know what is a rectifier module:

All of its communication power technology, convert alternating current to direct current to supply power to the DC load, connect the battery pack in the power system to charge the battery pack, and detect the state of the battery pack. Three hot-swappable rectifier module ports can form an N+1 redundant system to provide fault tolerance for the load. In order to adapt to different external power systems, the monitoring system is equipped with 45 different alarm options. The monitoring screen can display current alarm information, query historical alarm information, and also supports RS485/SNMP remote operation. Widely used in communications and industrial fields

To put it simply, the switching power supply is the power supply used daily, which may be related to the switching power supply, but the rectifier module is used for power supply in large places. The environment is different, and the required internal performance and power are different.
