AI Thread Summary
Board B1, operating between 36V and 90V with a nominal of 72V, may be used for requirement R1, which operates from 36V to 56V with a nominal of 48V, as both can run at 48V. However, it is essential to check if B1 needs derating at lower voltages. The design of the board typically considers the operating point first, and while some components may change, others may remain the same. The switching power supply design is crucial, particularly regarding the duty cycle, which affects the input-to-output voltage ratio. Understanding these factors will clarify whether B1 can meet R1's requirements without modifications.

TL;DR Summary
Want to understand the operating voltage and the nominal voltage
I have this doubt suppose a i have a board (B1) which operates in the range from 36V - 90V and the nominal operating range is 72V. I have another requirement (R1) with operating range 36V - 56V and with nominal operating range of 48V but functionally same as B1. So, can i use the board B1 for R1 requirement without any modifications? What is the significance of the nominal operating range in this case 72V and 48V? I am struggling to understand.

The range of B1 is from 36 V to 90 V, with a normal operating point (not range) of 72 V.
The range of R1 is from 36 V to 56 V, with a normal operating point (not range) of 48 V.
You should be able to run them both from 48 V.
But examine the specs of B1 to find out if it must be derated when run on the lower voltage.
 
When you have to operate an electronics circuit board over larger voltage range, will the size of the components inside the board changes. How the design basically looks like, first they will consider the operating point, design the complete circuit then see if that component works for the entire range of operation? or it is only the input section components will change like regulator etc, to accommodate the operating range and the components inside the board will not change?
 
Anything is possible. You should not have to change components.
You cannot expect more than a general answer so long as B1 and R1 are unidentified.

Have you studied switching power supply design yet? That is the main consideration in your question, I think (but I'm not sure, since the question is defined in kind of a strange way).

The main consideration in the power supply design to accommodate the input voltage range is the duty cycle of the switching power supply. Depending on the topology of the switching power supply circuit, there are limitations on the variation of the duty cycle of the switching. The input-to-output voltage ratio of such circuits depends on the duty cycle of the switching action.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
