When mentioning high voltage power supply, I can think of the inverter immediately. What is the difference between the high voltage power supply and the inverter?

High voltage power supply generally refers to DC high voltage power supply that can output voltages above 1kV. There are two types, DC-DC and AC-DC.

Inverter generally refers to the device that converts DC power (batteries, storage batteries) into AC current (DC-AC).

High voltage power supply is widely used in production, industry, agriculture, national defense, scientific research, biology, medicine and other fields, including: x-ray machine high voltage power supply, high voltage laser power supply, high voltage power spectral analysis, non-destructive testing high voltage power supply. They are widely used in ion beam deposition, ion beam assisted deposition, electron beam evaporation, electron beam welding, ion source, DC reactive magnetron sputtering, glass/fabric coatings, glow discharge, microwave treatment high voltage capacitance test, CRT display test, High voltage cable fault test (PD test), traveling wave tube test and H-POT test. Particle accelerators, free electron lasers, neutron sources, cyclotrons, capacitive and inductive pulse generators, Marx high voltage pulse generators, capacitor charging. Microwave heating, radio frequency amplification, nanotechnology, electrostatic technology, nanofibers with electrospinning, and high voltage power supply for nuclear instruments.

Inverters are widely used in our life, mainly for emergency supply of AC power in the event of a sudden power cut. Due to limited power storage capacity, it generally cannot be used for a long time. It can be used in office system, such as computers, fax machines, printers, scanners, etc., to extend the power supply time for saving files and avoid illegal shutdown; it can also be applied to lighting systems, as an emergency evacuation indicator or power supply for fire lighting; small household appliances for charging mobile phones, cameras, razors, etc.

Therefore, we can see that the difference between high-voltage power supply and inverter is that the high voltage power supply outputs DC high voltage, which is mainly used in production; the output voltage of the inverter is AC, which is mainly used in daily life. Moreover, the key technical indicators are also different. The main technical requirements for selecting high voltage power supplies are that the high-precision and output voltage can be linearly adjustable; while the inverter is mainly concerned with the output power, and the output voltage is generally a fixed AC output of 110V or 220V.

ATI's high voltage power supply products come with high precision, high efficiency, stable output, two voltage adjustment methods (0 to 5V or 10kΩ potentiometers), complete protection functions, low cost, and long service life, which are reliable and quality products.
