In today's world where electronic devices are everywhere, power products with different powers "escort" various devices. However, to make the power supply play a stable and efficient role in the corresponding scenarios, the following precautions must be kept in mind.
Power matching is the crucial first step. When choosing a power supply, it is essential to accurately calculate the total power required by the devices. Take a small e-sports room as an example. A high-performance e-sports computer host may have a power of about 500W. Adding an e-sports monitor with 100W, e-sports headphones with 30W and other devices, the total power is close to 630W. Then it is more appropriate to choose a 700W - 800W power supply, which not only meets the current needs but also reserves a certain margin to cope with occasional power fluctuations of the devices. For some devices with motors, the power at the moment of startup will far exceed the normal operating value. If the power of the power supply is insufficient at this time, the device cannot start normally and may even damage the power supply. Therefore, it is generally recommended that the power of the power supply be 20% - 30% higher than the peak power of the device startup.
The use environment cannot be underestimated. In terms of temperature, high-power power supplies (such as 1000W and 3000W) generate a large amount of heat when working, and it is difficult to dissipate heat in a high-temperature environment, which is likely to cause overheating and damage to internal components. If such power supplies are used in a hot workshop, good ventilation must be ensured, and auxiliary cooling fans can also be installed. The low-temperature environment has a greater impact on low-power portable power supplies. For example, a 100W power bank, in extremely cold weather, the battery performance declines, the output voltage is unstable, the charging speed for mobile phones becomes slow or even cannot be charged. Try to keep it in a relatively warm environment when using it.
Humidity and dust are also important factors. A humid environment is likely to cause a short circuit in the power supply. For outdoor adventure enthusiasts who carry a 200W power supply, if it encounters rain, water vapor enters the interior of the power supply, and the risk of short circuit is extremely high. Protective equipment such as waterproof covers needs to be equipped. In a dusty environment, dust will block the heat dissipation ports of high-power power supplies and affect the heat dissipation effect. For example, for a 3000W large power supply used in a construction site, dust needs to be regularly cleaned to prevent failures caused by overheating.
Safety and compliance must be emphasized. Ensure that the power product has formal safety certifications, such as CE and UL. This is the basic prerequisite for ensuring safe use. When operating, strictly follow the instructions. For example, when plugging or unplugging the plug of a high-power power supply, turn off the device first to prevent danger caused by instantaneous current shock.
In conclusion, paying attention to these precautions can make power products with different powers operate safely and reliably in their respective applicable scenarios, providing continuous power for our lives and work.
