What is a SMPS power supply (Switched Mode Power Supply)?

SMPS units – Switched Mode Power supplies are known by various names, like regulators, switchers, and power supplies. In fact, they are a type of power supply that converts AC voltages from the mains to low DC voltages via a switching regulator mechanism inside it. This mechanism allows it to convert power with high efficiency and stability, which is why various industries highly prize this power supply.

A power quality analyzer could effectively determine this. It is typically used in multiple applications like servers, power stations, computers, factories, charging vehicle batteries, security systems, and railway stations. There are two types of SMPS units: non-isolated converters and isolated SMPS.
