a linear power supply the noise or ripple can be reduced to mv. However it is bulky heavy and inefficient A switching power supply it is easier to filter its output but the hi frequency noise and spikes are not that ease to get rid off. The weight and size can be greatly reduced and the efficiency greatly improved

What does switch mode power supply mean in computer applications?

A switch mode power supply is chosen for an application when its weight, efficiency, size, or wide input range tolerance make it preferable to linear power supplies. Initially the cost of semiconductors made switch mode supplies a premium cost alternative, but current production switch mode supplies are nearly always lower in cost.


What is the difference between main switch and distribution board?

The switch turns the supply on and off whilst the distribution board takes the incoming supply and separates it into the various loads - lighting, cooker, shower, sockets, etc. In modern domestic electricity supplies the distribution board usually incorporate a mains switch but in the earlier days of electricitythe switchwould be mounted separately from the 'fuse box' because the materials used were quite bulky in comparison to modern alloys and plastics.

Difference between managable and non mangable router switch?

the main difference b/w manageable and non-manageable is that manageable switch is having SNMP PROTOCAL through which you can see the port specification, duplex setting, m/c connected to port, traffic etc.


What is the difference between Stackable versus rack mount switch?

As the name implies stakable means installation over each others without any barrier ,partition or space. This necessates that stakable switch must be capable to withstand the weight of switchs over it . Also since the top of the switch is covered by the next switch over it ,the heat dissipation area will be less so the design AND/OR the cooling requirements will be different from rack mount switch.

What is differential pressure switch?

A pressure differential switch, is a switch that reacts to pressure difference of two points, usually your supply & return side. If the pressure between these points are high, it then "reacts" notifying of pressure problem on the system.


What is the difference between iron clad double pole switch and double pole single throw switch?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.The difference between a double pole switch and a single pole switch is the use of the switch in the installation or equipment. A double pole switch is used when the voltage from two circuits has to be broken. An example of this is a 240 volt supply. A single pole switch is used where there is only a single supply voltage that has to be broken.

Is transistor linear or non linear?

A transistor can function in both linear and non-linear modes. In the linear mode, it can amplify small signals with a linear relationship between input and output. In the non-linear mode, the transistor operates as a switch, turning on or off based on the input signal.
