Do You Have Enough AC For Your DC?

When you need 2000 W of dc power for your testing, you may not think too much about where it will come from. But in the U.S., when operating from the typical and ubiquitous 120-V ac outlet, you might not get enough power off the ac line to generate 2000 W or even 1000 W out of your dc power supply.
