How is the power supply of a computer measured?
Power supplies are rated at the maximum wattage they can put out. Of course, a computers requirements vary depending on what the computer is doing, so a computer power supply should be of the same, or greater, wattage requirement of the computer when under it's greatest load.
How many cables are supplied by power supply?
Depends on what wattage it is, and the manufacture. You can use adapters types of wire connections, and sometimes you can get splitters.
Are power supplies interchangeable?
Yes. A power supply is most definitely replaceable. When replacing a power supply, make sure you know how much watts your computer requires to run. Be sure you are not buying too little "wattage" of a PSU.
Can the power supply cause the computer to be difficult to turn on?
Yes. If the power supply is of a low wattage and has too many pieces of hardware connected to it, it can. Try buying a power supply with a wattage over 300. One thing to check before replacing the power supply is the voltage selector in the back. If you use 120 volt power, then setting the power supply to 240 volts will cause the PC to only get half of the power it needs. External peripherals with their own power supply will not impact the power supply or current in the computer. Printers and monitors usually get their power from the wall socket, not the computer, and the same goes for external modems that plug into the wall. Keyboards and mice take negligible power.
How many watts are the power supply?
Well it all depends on how high-end your computer is. If it is a rather basic model there are probably between 450 and 500 watts, but if you have a higher-end computer, it will probably have between 600 and 850 watts. This way the higher the ammount of watts your computer has the more power it will have to run the hardware of your computer.
Is the capacity of a power supply is measured by the wattage?
for sure
How do you determine the power wattage capacity needed by a power supply?
Hi there guys, this is the answer you all looking 4.Add up all wattage requirements for all devices that will use the power supply and then add an additional 30%.
What is the voltage drop across each lamp?
To answer this question a supply voltage must be stated. Also the wattage of the lamps is needed.
What is the recommended wattage capacity for a power supply for?
If you have a 500 watt power supply and you want to put in a new video card. On the video card's box it will tell you how much power it needs. If it requires less power then you don't need to worry. If it says it requires more, you'll need a bigger power supply with large wattage otherwise you'll kill your computer.
How do you calculate motor wattage from its resistance?
All you can do is get in the ballpark knowing resistance of windings and the supply voltage. Current = Voltage divided by resistance. Wattage = voltage x current x power factor. For a motor the power factor is between zero and sone number less than one, with one being just a resistive load. So if you calculate the current and use a PF = 1 you can get worse case wattage.
What is the pricing strategy that is needed when you are trying to maximize revenue when capacity is a factor?
increase price, decrease supply
When computing wattage when to include power factor and square root of three?
In its simplest form the equation to calculate the wattage of an electrical appliance is: Watts = voltage x current. If the appliance is in a AC supply use the Route mean square voltage (the stated AC voltage).
How do you convert 400 amp of three phase supply into kwh?
By knowing the voltage you could use calculate the wattage. Power equals volts times amps. Divide by 1000 to get kilowatts.
What pieces of information are needed before selecting a power supply?
The main piece of information needed is the load wattage or amperage that will be connected to the power supply. Once this is known the power supply of a greater size that the load should be chosen. Also with this information the size of the wires can be calculated from the power supply to the load. Too small a wire will create a voltage drop at the load end of the circuit. This will cause under performance of the load.
How do you find the recommended Power Supply Wattage needed in a computer?
Hit your computer with a bat until it opens up and you can find it that way. It is ok if only 2 parts break they r likely not important
A word that starts with a c that is 8 letters long?
I will supply five words to get you started: calamity, calculate, canister, capacity, and cardinal.
What must you match when purchasing a power supply?
The equipments power requirements, and the mains voltage. The output of the power supply must be able to deliver the correct voltage to the equipment, at the appropriate wattage. Additionally, it should be capable of operating on the supplied mains voltage and wattage.
