What voltages does a computer's power supply convert 120 volts of alternating current from a wall outlet into?

A personal computer's power supply receives 120 volts of AC and converts it to 3.3, 5, 12 volts of DC power.Another answerThe secondary voltage could be any number of voltages depending on what the power supply was designed for. Your best bet is to get a DC voltmeter and measure the output voltage of each wire on the output side.


How much voltages does a 4 pin molex from a psu in a computer connector have?

Keep in mind I'm not a computer repair guy or at least not officially. The four pin molex connector from a power supply unit that you use to plug into hard drives, and other drives has a 5 volt wire and a 12 volt wire. The two black ones are ground or negative. The red wire is 5 volts DC, the yellow is 12 volts DC.


What is the computer power supply?

A power supply unit is a device that supplies electrical energy to one or more electric loads. As a computer part, the PSU supplies power to the rest of the computer. The power supply unit converts wall current into the right kind of power for the individual parts of your computer. The current produced is clean direct current that is 12 volts, 5 volts, and other correct voltages. The PSU then distributes the power throughout the system internally to hard drives, DVD/CD drives, floppy drives, GPU's, the motherboard and any other parts as well.


What is the capacity of 1.5kva?

a 1.5 kVa source of electrical power has the capacity to supply 100 volts at 15 amps, 300 volts at 5 amps, or 1000 volts at 1.5 amps.


Can 30 volts damage computer components?

At least 3000 volts of static electricity must build up before a person can feel ESD. For example, static electricity can build up on you as you walk across a carpeted floor. When you touch another person, you both receive a shock. If the discharge causes pain or makes a noise, the charge was probably above 10,000 volts. By comparison, less than 30 volts of static electricity can damage a computer component.

Why computer is digital not analog?

A computer is considered digital because of the way that it stores information. The bit, which is a single "on" or "off" in a computer system, is a single digit. An example of a difference between digital and analogue is thus: If you have a voltage, from 0 to 5 volts, you could represent 2.5 volts in an analogue system as 2.5 volts. However, in a digital system, that voltage would need to be converted. The resolution refers to how many "steps" there are between 0 and 5 volts. Let's say that we were going to represent our voltage with 8 bits (or 8 on and off states). That gives us a potential for 256 combinations, with 0 being 0 volts, and 255 being 5 volts. Therefore, 2.5 volts would be represented by 128. That is a DIGITAL representation of an ANALOG value.

Why 0 volt and 5 volt correspond to 0 and 1?

This is the way to get digital signals in a computer. You just need to decide on two different voltage values which the electrical circuit can tell apart easily. 0 volts is an obvious choice for zero, and 5 volts is about right to work in that kind of circuit. (For one thing, if it were 100 volts, you could electrocute yourself on your computer!)
