What Is 24V Power Supply

A 24V Power supply can change AC to DC. In addition to converting the AC power to DC power, the voltage level can be adjusted at the same time. Some devices need DC but only have access to the AC coming from the wall. The 24V power supply can make this adjustment quite easily.

What uses a 24V power supply?

The linear 24V Power Supply is still popular in audio, lighting and sensor applications. Switching 24 Volt Power Supplies are widely used in medical, communication, automation and other OEM designs where size, portability of equipment, low heat and intrinsically fail-Safe operation is desired.

How does a 24V circuit work?

A 24V thermostat circuit sends electricity to the relay coil. That coil changes the 24V into magnetism. Inside the relay, that magnetism flips the switches to turn line voltage HVAC equipment on and off. A relay usually has multiple switches.
