Examining the characteristics of electricity
- A Kilowatt power supply delivers more power than a 500 W supply. (1000 W > 500 W)
- A PC tech would be concerned output the output power rating of a power supply based on the requirements of the components inside a PC
- A PC tech will be mostly concerned with the wattage on the power supply and the proper voltage feeds to each of the components. Everything we plug into it will draw different wattage.
- Purpose of a PC power supply is to
- Condition the power supply
- convert AC to DC current
- convert 110 V to 12 or 5 V
- supply current for the resistance/ohms of the components.
