They have the ability to manage the voltage and change it to the needs of the computer to ensure it functions properly. They also ensure that the power is distributed correctly throughout the computer and each part gets the required amount.]]> 2022-08-17 14:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/millerwm/ecnksqdsnkbc69gn/wish/2263316867 https://padlet.com/millerwm/ecnksqdsnkbc69gn/wish/2263317430 A power supply takes ac energy from a wall outlet and convert it to dc energy to become more stable. Because DC power is more stable it is able to transfer its power to different devices across the computer. ]]> 2022-08-17 14:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/millerwm/ecnksqdsnkbc69gn/wish/2263317430 https://padlet.com/millerwm/ecnksqdsnkbc69gn/wish/2263318504 Power supplies convert AC power from the wall into DC power.

The power supply does this by reducing the voltage, which convert it into a stable, lower voltage DC energy. After this, the DC energy can then be used to power the rest of the components inside the computer.]]> 2022-08-17 14:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/millerwm/ecnksqdsnkbc69gn/wish/2263324351 https://padlet.com/millerwm/ecnksqdsnkbc69gn/wish/2263324496 Prior to a power supply working, bare printed circuit boards, PCBs, are placed on an automated line to be soldered and screen printed with paste. The PCBs then travel to a heat chamber from which the paste is melted into liquid solder, which hardens into strong joints. The power supply units then travel towards a manual assembly line to fit and glue down internal components. From a working standpoint, power supplies convert alternating current (AC) from the wall outlet into direct current (DC), which is then used to power various electronic devices, such as a computer. To properly draw voltage from the power supply, cables are used to connect the PSU with other computer parts.]]> 2022-08-17 14:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/millerwm/ecnksqdsnkbc69gn/wish/2263324496 https://padlet.com/millerwm/ecnksqdsnkbc69gn/wish/2263326285 The power supplies takes the AC electricity and converts it into a usable and lower voltage DC electricity.
