As in all electronics devices that obtain power from the AC electric system, a power supply converts the AC to the DC voltage(s) needed by the electronics in the device. Depending on the needs of the device this power supply may deliver a single DC voltage or as many as several dozen different DC voltages.
Break down voltages happens at low voltages (.6 for silicon & .3 for germanium), whereas knee voltages at higher voltages. That's why its cheaper.
There is no 'total voltage' in a three-phase system. There are three line voltages and three phase voltages.
avoid crosstalksafety, a short between them could cause hazardous voltages where none are expectedprotect low voltage equipment from damageetc.
Voltage Grade of cables specifies the safe voltages which the insulation of the cable can withstand.
Since voltage is electrical potential difference, to measure the voltage across a component, you place the voltmeter across, or in parallel with, the component.
The different peripherals are designed so that one component may fit one slot but not another. This is due to the different voltages certain components require to function. There for if you plug a component into a lower voltage peripheral then it would not work and if you plug a component into a higher voltage peripheral then it poses a fire hazzard as to much voltage can cause over heating and component failure.
It converts "line voltage" (where you plug the computer in) to various DC voltages that have been filtered and made more usable for the processor and other components.
Break down voltages happens at low voltages (.6 for silicon & .3 for germanium), whereas knee voltages at higher voltages. That's why its cheaper.
The circuit by itself doesn't determine the voltage of the power supply. If there's some additional requirement that goes along with the circuit, such as "The current through the circuit must be XYZ amperes.", or "The voltage across the third component from the north end of the circuit shall be ABC volts,", then that requirement would dictate the power supply voltage. But in order to calculate it, you'd need the knowledge of every component in the series circuit.
Low voltages are not 'combined into higher voltages' for transmission! The lower voltage (e.g. the voltage generated at a power station) is applied to the primary winding of a large power transformer, and the required higher transmission voltage then appears across the transformer's secondary winding. The magnitude of the secondary voltage is determined by the turns ratio of the transformer's windings.
The voltage for a potential relay will depend on the circuit that the relay is installed in. The relay can be made for low voltages (5v) to higher voltages (440.)
There is no 'total voltage' in a three-phase system. There are three line voltages and three phase voltages.
It's a voltage regulator and normally connected to a heat sink to keep it cool.
avoid crosstalksafety, a short between them could cause hazardous voltages where none are expectedprotect low voltage equipment from damageetc.
In the U.S.A., 110VAC is the usual household receptacle voltage where lamps, TV's etc are connected and the computer, printer & related devices are also connected. Other countries may have different operating voltages required for computers.
it converts a low voltage to a high voltage.
