Constant voltage accuracy

In power supply equipment and similar devices, this indicates the stability of the output voltage when the input voltage or output current is varied. It is expressed either as the amount of fluctuation in the output voltage or as the ratio of that fluctuation to the rated output voltage. There are several types of voltage regulation accuracy, mainly indicating the fluctuation value of the output voltage when the following conditions are varied within specified ranges.

Static line regulationFluctuation value when the input voltage is changed gradually
Dynamic line regulationFluctuation value when the input voltage is changed rapidly
Static load regulationFluctuation value when the load current is changed gradually
Dynamic load regulationFluctuation value when the load current is changed rapidly
Ambient temperature variationFluctuation value when the ambient temperature around the equipment is changed
Initial driftFluctuation value from power-on until reaching operating temperature (typically after 30 minutes)
Long-term driftFluctuation value from reaching operating temperature after power-on (typically after 30 minutes) to a specified time later (8 hours)

For example, for equipment used in environments with severe temperature changes, it is desirable to select products with excellent voltage regulation accuracy for ambient temperature variation, choosing devices with superior voltage regulation accuracy suited to the operating conditions.
