Hello,  
I am currently working on a university project that involves integrating a UR3 arm. However, the unit I have access to is set up as a DC-DC version, and I need to convert it to an AC-DC configuration. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any information on the specific power supply units used in the original AC-DC version.  
Any information will be appreciated  
P.S. i read all the service manuals i could find but non of them specify the PSUs, only that it is 48v and 12v.

I think this [Article](https://www.universal-robots.com/articles/ur/robot-care-maintenance/power-supply-unit-psu-for-ac-to-dc-for-testing-oem-dc-controller/) may be what you are looking for in this case. I have not used the DC-DC version but this is what I found.

In that article I was only able to find a specific 1500w PSU that is used for UR5 and above, which seems like an overkill for the UR3. Currently, the system is running on the SD-1000L-48 and RSD-60G-12. If I am unable to find the exact PSUs used in the original AC-DC setup, I am considering sourcing AC-DC equivalents of these units instead.
