Capitalise on the benefits of customising standard power supplies

When looking to optimise the performance of your power supplies, the customisation ofa standard solutions can prove the most sensible option. While retail power suppliespurchased off the shelf are user-friendly and cost-efficient, they can sometimes fall short of specific applicationdemands. A few adjustments can go a long way towards achieving optimisation.

By customising a power supply with additional components, you can unlock its full potential and meet the criteria of the task at hand. However, success hinges on a technical understanding of both the power supply and the components introduced. Customisationcan also be expensiveand time-consuming to plan and design, especially when looking to maintain compliance with industry standards and regulations.These can restrict component options.

Unlike a fully bespoke power solution, customising a standard power supplyfocuses on adjusting components already present and minimising the number of additions to maintain simplicity. This strategy provides you with the benefits of customisation, such as adaptability, while retaining a reliable level of performance. Achieving thatsweet spot between configurability and reliability is what customised standardpower supplies are all about.

Healthcare is among the industries that require adaptable equipmentat an attractive price point. This balance can be difficult to strike with both standard and fully bespokepower supplies. Additionally, medical technologies such as life support systemsrely on batteries, requiringadditionalcomponents to facilitate capabilitieslike monitoring and control. Further planning at the design phase will also be necessary to ensure regulatory compliance. 

Customising a standard power supply strikes a happy middle ground between full customisation and an off-the-shelf solution. It minimises cost and time by changing as little as possible from the original manufacturer’s design intent. 

Expertise of courseremains essential. Planning a bespoke power solution can prove an in-depth process that requires technical know-how.After all, manufacturer guidance may no longer apply following the switch-out ofvarious components. Depending on the application, new compliance demands could come into play.

Fortunately, options exist to streamline the process of customising a standard power supply. Real-time control and monitoring features, for example,provide a reliable way to record the solution’s performance over time, measure its cost-efficiency and deliver precise diagnostics while the device is running. The design processsubsequently becomes considerably more user-friendly.

In summary, the customisation of standard solutions can offera great middle option for power supply projects. When off-the-shelf choicesare too restrictive in their configuration and there isn’t the time or resources to create a fully bespoke design, why not adopt an approach that delivers the best of both worlds– blending efficiency with adaptability for the optimalresults?
