Basic difference between SMPS and T/R
Using SMPS technology to energize electrostatic precipitators enhances both total
collection efficiency and fine particulate collection. This is achieved mainly due to
the almost ripple-free high voltage signal provided by a high frequency power
supply, where a traditional Transformer/Rectifier (T/R) will have a ripple similar to
the low frequency - 50/60 hz - of the mains input.
A direct comparision of voltage levels as shown below, shows that SMPS
energisation provides a higher average voltage and thus more power to the ESP.
