I just ran across your blog and it reminded me of a question n one seems to have the answer to; what is the physical difference between an ac system (ie a lightbulb) and a dc system? So an ac bulb ’knows’ it won’t work in a dc power system

Thanks John! I'm glad you found the information useful.

You can message me directly if you would like me to get you in touch with local resources that might be able to further assist. Suppliers have great apps engineers that can help you with your design, but sometimes it's nice to talk to a distributor first as we can expose you to different solutions from different manufacturers and let you decide what you think will be best before we engage with the supplier.

Also, I will be regularly adding power related blogs in this space so please be sure to check back from time to time. I'm also open to topic suggestions if there are things you'd like to see in the future.

thanks again,
Chris

Hi Chris,

I found your Blog very timely and useful as recently there have been a couple of questions on the forum about building power supplies and converters.

Thanks for your insights.

John
