There is a difference between impedance and resistance. A supply's output could have an extremely high resistance to ground at D.C. but with a capacitor from the output to ground could basically be a short circuit at R.F.. A lot of supplies I have say the output can be floated +/- XXX volts. --- End quote --- Thanx! Why this design is not popular at the West countries? (all found schematics are from Eastern Germany, Hungary and Bulgarian Republic) |

Almost if not all the bench supplies I have have floating outputs. To have one output terminal grounded would severely limit the usefulness of the supply. A supply built into a stereo or some other piece of equipment is different because it isn't designed for general use and more often than not will have one output terminal grounded. |

Some of us might be talking about different things. "floating type" to me means that the control circuitry has its ground reference connected to the + output terminal rather than the - terminal. The control circuitry floats up and down with the + output voltage. |
