UNIFIVE Peak Load Compatible AC Adapter
Frequently Asked about Peak Load
“The normal load of the device is about 12V3.8A, but since the motor starts up at boot or during a periodic cycle every few hours, a peak load occurs and momentarily draws current equivalent to 7A. Therefore, I want an adapter rated 12V7.5A with some margin added.”
In this example, the customer has selected the adapter based on the maximum actual load in use, adding a safety margin, which is a safe method for choosing a power supply.
The increase in size…
However, on the other hand, selecting a power supply based on a peak load that occurs only once every few hours or once a day leads to higher costs and an increase in adapter size, which often makes people feel “what a waste.”
In such cases, try UNIFIVE’s “Peak Load Compatible AC Adapters”
In these cases, our unique series of “Peak Load Compatible AC Adapters” come highly recommended.
Depending on the model, the peak load compatible adapter guarantees durability for a current up to twice the rated value, for 1 second or 11 seconds.
In the previous example, instead of having to select a 12V7.5A adapter, if the peak load is within the adapter’s specification range, it becomes possible to choose a 12V3.8A rated adapter.
The series lineup ranges from 45–65W, which is somewhat limited, but they can be used in a wide range of equipment that meets special conditions, such as industrial devices, mechatronic Products, printers and devices using motors, or electronic musical instruments and similar Products.
In addition, for customers currently using built-in power supplies, we may recommend considering the use of adapters.
Also, within a negotiable range, part replacements and custom specs modifications are possible.
