Sometimes when people buy a computer power supply unit (PSU), there are several components in the box:
a AC power cable to connect the power supply to the wall mains outlet,
the power supply itself (PSU) that converts mains power into more useful forms of power,
and one or more DC power cables that connect the power supply to the motherboard and other parts of the computer.
(On a modular power supply unit, those cables can be detached from the PSU).
A computer power supply is in a metal box that is difficult to open, so most people treat a computer power supply (PSU) as a single indivisible component.
Inside a computer power supply is a transformer to help convert mains power into more useful forms of power, power diodes and power transistors typically mounted to a heat sink, and other components to help the conversion or to filter the power to meet EMC requirements, and often a fan to blow air on the heat sink to keep the transistors from overheating.
What else can I help you with?
How do components get power?
A computer's power supply unit provides all needed voltages for the components of a computer that are internal. Externals either draw power from the USB bus (which in turn gets it's power from the aforementioned PSU or a Hub with a power supply) OR have their own internal power supply with a cable.
What components are included in the shed power supply kit?
The shed power supply kit typically includes components such as a solar panel, charge controller, battery, inverter, and wiring.
What is the purpose of the power supply?
To power all the components of a computer.
State two reasons why computer needs to be connected to a stable power supply?
A stable power supply is crucial for a computer for several reasons: 1. Prevention of Data Loss: Sudden power outages or fluctuations can lead to data loss or corruption. A stable power supply helps prevent these issues by ensuring that the computer's components receive consistent power, reducing the risk of data loss. 2. Protection of Hardware: Fluctuations in power supply can damage the computer's hardware components, such as the motherboard, hard drive, and processor. A stable power supply helps protect these components from damage, prolonging the lifespan of the computer.
What components define the system's form factor?
The mother board, power supply, and chassis
What is the function of power supply in system unit?
The function of the power supply is to convert wall current to the correct current for the computer and distribute power to all the internal computer components.
Identify the components included in the KSU?
Power supply, intercom, system logic
What are the major components of a mother board?
power supply, motherboard and cooling system
Does the power supply provide power to a CPU fan or case fan?
yes, the power supply provides power specifically to the motherboard in turn dispersing power to all components plugged into the motherboard, hope this helped :)
What does power supply does?
A power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all the components in the computer. Typically that would include the system board, the processor, the video cards, and storage devices.
What does a power supply fan do?
A power supply fan keeps the power supply cool. The semiconductor components get hot in a switching power supply, and this fan keeps things cool and helps prevent the power supply from damaging itself from excessive heat. As an example, when you play games, the video card requires a lot more current. That means the power supply has to work harder. The switching transistors in the power supply have to operate at a higher frequency and pass electricity through them a higher percentage of the time. That in turn causes them to get hot. The fan helps pull this heat away and protects these components.
