Understanding Power Suply

Power Supply in Indonesian power supply is the hardware which is useful for supply / provide direct electrical voltage to components that require a voltage. For example, motherboard, hard drive, fan, etc.

Power supply can obtain energy from various types of energy sources, including electricity transmission systems, energy storage devices such as batteries and fuel cells, electromechanical systems such as generators and alternators and solar power converters.

The power input power supply in the form of alternating current (AC) power supply, the need to change the AC voltage so DC (current line), because the computer devices will only operate with a DC current. Power supply in the form of a box which mostly placed above the rear of the casing.

In addition, the power supply has kenektor cables each cable connector that has a different function and is needed by the computer. At the end of this post you will find some of the cable connector Power Supply.

How it Works Power Supply

When we press the power button on the chassis, which will happen is Power supply will perform checks and tests before letting the system run. If testing is successful, Power Supply sends a special signal on the motherboard called with good power.

Function Power Supply

Power Supply function on the computer is to provide or supply electric currents previously changed from the opposite form of electrical current or AC, into an electric current that is in line or commonly called the DC current.

Power supply supplying DC electric current required by the hardware in the computer. As for some of the hardware that requires a DC electrical current that is the hard drive, fan, motherboard and others.

This function is similar to a UPS (Uninterruptible power supply), but its difference is batrai UPS can be used for backup, and will be very useful when the power suddenly dies. To better understand what a UPS ??.

Function Power Supply By Type Connector

Power supply has many connectors and each of the connector has a different function. Although most cable has the same power supply voltage, but each of the connectors are grouped by function.

To know more about different types of connectors Power Supply, then below are some pictures of the connectors that you can learn.
