2. Capacitive power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_power_supply

   In addition, failure of a single component can result in unacceptably high voltages at the output. For instance, if the Zener diode in the circuit shown should fail open, there will result a gradually-rising voltage at the output, eventually reaching the input (AC) voltage. [4] Capacitive power supplies typically have a low power factor.

3. Power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

   An external power supply, AC adapter or power brick, is a power supply located in the load's AC power cord that plugs into a wall outlet; a wall wart is an external supply integrated with the outlet plug itself. These are popular in consumer electronics because of their safety; the hazardous 120 or 240 volt main current is transformed down to a ...

4. AC adapter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_adapter

   Aside from obviating the need for internal power supplies, adapters offer flexibility: a device can draw power from 120 VAC or 230 VAC mains, vehicle battery, or aircraft battery, just by using different adapters. Safety can be another advantage, as hazardous 120 or 240 volt mains power is transformed to a lower, safer voltage at the wall ...

5. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   It is common for the autotransformer to cover a range only from about 90 V to 140 V for 120 V power, and then switch to battery if the voltage goes much higher or lower than that range. In low-voltage conditions the UPS will use more current than normal, so it may need a higher current circuit than a normal device.

6. Voltage regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulator

   Line regulation or input regulation is the degree to which output voltage changes with input (supply) voltage changes—as a ratio of output to input change (for example, "typically 13 mV/V"), or the output voltage change over the entire specified input voltage range (for example, "plus or minus 2% for input voltages between 90 V and 260 V, 50 ...

7. Regulated power supply - Wikipedia

   Heat sinks are silent, whereas fans are more effective in cooling. Fan speed may adjust based on temperature or output current, the former of which cools faster while idle or low throughout intermittent power output, whereas the latter provides acoustic feedback of how much current is output. [13] [17] Some power supplies have two output channels.
