2. Mains electricity by country - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country

   Frequency and voltage supplied to most premises by country Mains electricity by country includes a list of countries and territories, with the plugs, voltages and frequencies they commonly use for providing electrical power to low voltage appliances, equipment, and lighting typically found in homes and offices. (For industrial machinery, see industrial and multiphase power plugs and sockets ...

3. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)

   A power supply unit (PSU) converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a desktop computer. Modern personal computers universally use switched-mode power supplies. Some power supplies have a manual switch for selecting input voltage, while others automatically adapt to the main voltage.

4. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

   Electric power distribution. Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity. Electricity is carried from the transmission system to individual consumers. Distribution substations connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage ranging between 2 kV and 33 kV with the use of ...

5. CPU core voltage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_core_voltage

   CPU core voltage. Appearance. The CPU core voltage (VCORE) is the power supply voltage supplied to the processing cores of CPU (which is a digital circuit), GPU, or any other device with a processing core. The amount of power a CPU uses, and thus the amount of heat it dissipates, is the product of this voltage and the current it draws.

6. ATX - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX

   ATX. An ATX motherboard. Comparison of some common motherboard form factors (pen for scale) ATX (Advanced Technology Extended) is a motherboard and power supply configuration specification, patented by David Dent in 1995 at Intel, [1] to improve on previous de facto standards like the AT design. It was the first major change in desktop computer ...

7. Utility frequency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_frequency

   Utility frequency. The utility frequency, (power) line frequency (American English) or mains frequency (British English) is the nominal frequency of the oscillations of alternating current (AC) in a wide area synchronous grid transmitted from a power station to the end-user. In large parts of the world this is 50 Hz, although in the Americas ...

8. File:World Map of Mains Voltages and Frequencies, Detailed.svg

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_Map_of_Mains...

   This map reflects the nominal voltage of residential buildings of most countries. In the USA and Canada, there are 2 nominal voltages: 120V and 240V concurrently. This is not a 3 phase system and 240V is not a phase-phase voltage. This system is unique and is only used in certain parts of the world. 230/380V in Europe does not use a similar system.

9. Power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

   A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The main purpose of a power supply is to convert electric current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load. As a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters.
