When you need to connect multiple power supplies together to reach your desired power output, you'll have two approaches you can take: connecting power supplies in parallel or connecting power supplies in series. 

Each method has its pros and cons, which is why we’re going to break down the nuances between connecting power supply in series vs parallel to leave you feeling confident in your next steps.

Connecting power supplies in series will increase the output voltage, whereas connecting those same power supplies in parallel would raise the output current. So which approach makes the most sense for your application?

Your power supply unit (PSU) keeps your operation running, whether it’s powering life-critical medical devices or supporting manufacturing robot operations. Downtime can be costly, so how long do power supplies last?

Power supply lifespan is impacted by quality of the unit, usage, environment, and more. Some of the high-quality AC-DC power supply and DC converter units we sell at Bravo Electro can last 5 years or more.

We'll take a closer look at the PSU lifespan and what affects it along with what to do if you notice the bad power supply symptoms and need to get a replacement fast - for that, look no further than Bravo Electro.

What is a Power Supply Unit (PSU)?

Whether it’s for powering industrial equipment, consumer electronics, or even your PC, a PSU is the most important piece of the puzzle.

Choosing the right power supply types is not something that can be taken lightly no matter the application. We see our customers struggle with picking between an isolated vs non-isolated power supply time and time again. So, we’ll break down the differences below to leave you with complete clarity.  

Isolated power supplies are safer, quieter, and capable of providing multiple output voltages since they provide electrical separation between input and output. On the other hand, non-isolated power supplies are smaller, more affordable, and great when electrical isolation isn’t essential. 

Here’s a chart showing which makes sense for you between an isolated and non-isolated PSU:
