Best Answer

ATX computer power supplies provide low volts DC of less than five volts. AT computer power supplies provide low DC only to five and twelve volts.

Is A computer power supply rated at 300 to 500 W?

Computer power supplies (PSU's) have a variety of ratings including as low as 200 W and as high as 1200 W. The power rating of a computer's PSU depends on the devices installed on the computer.


What are advantages power supply in computer?

The power supply converts the high voltage (e.g. 120VAC in US, 240VAC in Europe) alternating current house electricity supply down to the various different low voltage direct current supplies needed by different devices that make up the computer. These low voltage direct current supplies are tightly regulated in the power supply circuitry to prevent transients in the house electric supply from perturbing the computer's electronics as well as to compensate for variations in power demand as the different devices that make up the computer operate.

How a transformer is so important?

Transformers transform low vvoltages to hivh and vice versa. This is important in transmitting electrical power form the high voltage power plant to the low voltage home voltage. Using high voltage transmission reduces transmission power losses, I2R.

Can an op amp be powered with 6 volts?

Yes. The first generation of op amps worked from +15 and -15 volt supplies. You can now get low-voltage and micropower op amps that work on single supplies, and on low-voltage supplies. Look for: low power op amp on the web, or check out your local electronics store - one that actually sells parts, not just equipment.

What is the need for power supplies?

A power supply is needed to transform the line voltage (e.g. 120 VAC 60 Hz, 240 VAC 50 Hz) to the voltage or voltages needed by the equipment (typically DC voltages between 3 VDC to 300 VDC) depending on the operational requirements of the equipment. Some old vacuum tube equipment needed low voltage AC to heat the vacuum tubes, the power supply then also had to provide these voltages (e.g. 6 VAC, 12 VAC). I have seen power supplies as simple as providing just one DC voltage to power supplies as complex as providing 20 to 30 different DC voltages, some positive and some negative with respect to ground.
