Sum up
Voltages can be classified according to different criteria, including power supply type, waveform, voltage level, application field, purpose, and whether they are stable. Each voltage type has its own specific application scenarios and technical requirements. Understanding the different types of voltages helps to correctly select and use the appropriate power supply and equipment in practical applications.
