Seamless DC power switching
Hey everybody!
So my original post here had tons of info and I was getting no replies. I'll sum it up a bit quicker this time so maybe you guys can understand what I'm actually looking for. I need something that will allow me to seamlessly switch from my primary power supply to my backup powersupply whenever my primary supply is disconnected (or too low).
The equipment is powered by 12VDC normally and draws a decent amount of current although I'm not sure exactly how much but will update when I know. Please let me know if you have any ideas on how to seamlessly switch power supplies. I had a relay idea but I believe the 5ms-9ms delay may be too long. I'll give it a shot when I get a chance but I highly doubt it will work. The attached picture shows a bit more information on what I'm looking for.
Thanks!
Dan
