PSU Designer II

PSU Designer II is a nice software solution for simulating power supplies and making all sort of calculations. It's packed with all sort of neat features and tools that you can check out, together with plenty of options.

The application doesn't take long to install and but it does come with some initial settings that you would need to make, before you can actually simulate power supplies.

The first thing that you need to do after launching the application is to complete the setup that would guide you through simulating your first power supply. You'll need to pick the normal mains frequency, choose between 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 400 Hz.

Next, you need to decide how accurate you want the results. If you have a slow machine, you may not want to choose high accuracy. Higher accuracies generally take more, although this setting can be changed at any time.

It will display a circuit at the top of the screen, with some options that you can adjust. You can change the values for transistor, the capacitor and the rectifier. It also comes with some options for the transformer, change values and source resistance.

You can have the software solution simulate the power supply for a certain amount of time. There's the option to launch the simulation after a reporting delay of several minutes. There's the option to adjust accuracy, allow warnings or enable the auto-simulate graphs.

Enable dual axis and change dual frequency. The rectifier leak can be changed and you can enable a soft start in the simulation process. When you're done with the simulation process, you can print results easily from inside the application.

PSU Designer II is a very nice application for simulating power supplies and making all sort of changes and adjustments.
