Operating Temperature

What is Operating Temperature?

The operating temperature of a power supply refers to the range of temperatures within which it can function safely and reliably.

Typically, the operating temperature range of a power supply is specified by the manufacturer and can vary depending on the type of power supply and its intended use. For example, a typical desktop computer power supply may have an operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C, while a high-performance power supply designed for use in harsh industrial environments may have an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. It is important to ensure that the power supply is operated within its specified temperature range to prevent damage to the components and ensure proper functionality. Factors such as ambient temperature, airflow, and cooling can also affect the operating temperature of a power supply
