Parameters For Deciding Power Supplies-
4
How are devices being used?

• When devices are used primarily indoors, it
  requires only a standard AC power source.
• When portable devices are used both indoors and
  outdoors it needs both an AC and DC voltage input.

5
Where the device will be used?

• Research the reliability of power sources in the
  nation the device will be used.

6

• Many devices may need to withstand humidity up to
  95
• Devices may need to withstand temperature ranges
  from -50 degrees Celsius up 85 degrees
• Devices like defibrillators, handheld ultrasound
  scanners, oxygen concentrators, and negative
  pressure wound therapy systems require
  heavy-duty AC/DC power supplies (like AC to DC
  Switchers).

Device Applications Environment

Device Size
The highly mobile devices having strict
requirements regarding weight, design
1. Most use a standard AC power supply.
2. For adapters DC power supplies can be used.
3. Devices requiring high reliability
and low maintenance
for various applications use DC to
AC inverters.
