Multi-functional high-voltage power supply enables cross-field technology integration

With the development of modern science and technology, various electronic devices have penetrated into people's lives and work. As an essential part of their use, the importance of high-voltage power supplies in insulation testing has received more attention. In the electrical and electronic industries, high-voltage power supplies are used to test the insulation strength of various insulating materials and components to ensure that they do not short circuit or have other problems during high-voltage operation. Its application in insulation testing is also very extensive.

In terms of principles, the high voltage generated by the high-voltage power supply can withstand extremely high induced electric fields, allowing extremely high charge energy to be stored. During charging, the charging current can flow in the insulator.  In the charging process of the high-voltage power supply, we can find that some insulating materials will hinder the flow of current, resulting in some capacitive electromagnetic fields. Therefore, we can use the insulation test voltage and frequency generated by the high-voltage power supply to detect the insulation strength and capacitance parameters of the insulating material.

In practical applications, there are two main types of high-voltage power supplies: DC high-voltage power supplies and AC high-voltage power supplies. In insulation testing, AC high-voltage power supplies are more commonly used. The advantage of AC high-voltage power supplies is that they can be used for rapid testing of larger capacitors or transformers, and the required insulating materials can be larger and the application range is wider.

In addition to applications in the electrical and electronic fields, high-voltage power supplies also have extensive applications in other fields. In the medical field, it is used for human electrical stimulation, processing and sterilization of biological products, etc.; in industry, it is mainly used in thin film switches, medical imaging, plasma processing, optical phenomena and many other fields.

In summary, as an important component of electronic equipment, high-voltage power supplies have very important application value, especially in the field of insulation testing. The advantages of AC high-voltage power supplies enable them to be widely used in high-power power supplies, new batteries, medical imaging and other fields. The application prospects of high-voltage power supplies will be further developed and expanded in the future.
