#167690 - AC power supply
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Kai Klaas said:
It's better to have the rectifier and storage cap in the remote supply and to have a pi-filter at the input of switcher providing an excellent dampening of switching frequency. Then, usually, an additional filtering is not necessary. In the case, that your device produces a lot of common mode noise, you should have a common mode choke at the input of pi-filter of switcher. This can also be snap-on ferrite, for instance.


Yes, I agree with you, but this device can be placed from several meters up to 100 meters from the remote power supply so in this case, I think it is better to transport AC. In addition there can be AC door opener controlled by the device...

Without knowing more about your circuit, I can only say, that the traces to the rectifier can be extremely noisy and should not form any loop! Route them in parallel and as close as possible. Reduce their length to the absolute minimum. Also, this AC voltage should not power other parts like the door opener. Everything connected to the rectifier inputs is contaminated by the switching noise from the acting rectifier.


Yes, but I must use AC voltage for supplying as well as for the opener... it is designated. Maybe it does not matter that the noise contaminate the opener...
