Power supply units are rated based on their output and efficiency. When more equipment is connected, a higher output power supply is needed.

When you purchase a power supply the output is measured in which units?

Watts.


What is the best choice for a replacement power supply for power supply ratings?

You need to make sure you buy a power supply that is rated for your motherboard. Common ratings are 350w, 400w and 500w.

Can you use a ac to dc power supply rated 12 V at 1.0 A for a device that needs 7.5 V at 1.4 A?

You can't. Buy the correct power supply.


Why is that when an electric bulb stay just as its bright when connected to a parallel circuit?

To operate at its rated power, a lamp must be subject to its rated voltage (the supply voltage). As each branch of a parallel circuit is subject to the same voltage (the supply voltage), each lamp will operate at its rated power.


Dual power supply?

A dual power supply refers to a system that provides two separate power sources to a device or circuit. This setup offers redundancy and can help improve reliability in case one power source fails. It is commonly used in critical systems where uninterrupted power supply is necessary.


What voltage is the power supply for a quest 2wire gateway model 2700HG-D?

The 2wire 2700 and 2701 models both use a 5.1 volt power supply rated 2 or 2.2 amps


Why increase the power supply on a desktop computer?

Generally you want to increase the capacity of the power supply (rated in watts) if you want to add more components to the computer which require substantial amounts of power, such as graphics cards. You may also in some circumstances find that the computer has an under-specified power supply installed when it is sold/built and so it will need to be upgraded just to be able to power the existing components.An under-rated power supply will manifest itself through system instability (randomly resetting or turning off when you do something that places a load on the system).


What happens when power supply is overloaded?

When a power supply is overloaded, it can overheat and potentially fail. This can lead to damage to the connected devices, such as a short circuit or a power surge, which can result in data loss or hardware damage. It is important to ensure that the power supply is rated to handle the load requirements of all connected devices to prevent overloading.


Will a 15DC 1000mA power supply work on a device needing 15DC 1500mA power supply?

Your question is confusing, but if you are asking whether you can use a 9V/250 mA adapter to supply a load device rated at 5 V/1000 mA, then the rule is quite straightforward. The adapter's rated output voltage must match that of the intended load, but its rated current must exceed that of the load. So in your example, you cannot use the adapter with the intended load.


A device that can protect a computer from power surges and lightning is a?

That would be a "surge protector". Note that many UPS (uninterruptable power supply) units include this functionality too.


What is Redundant Power Supply?

A redundant power supply is two or more units in one package, where each can supply the full amount of power to the system, such that if one fails, the other will take over and the system never goes down. In most modern redundant power supplies, the dead one can be replaced while the system is still running, called hot-swapping.
