  2. Power-on reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_reset

    One of the issues with using an RC network to generate a PoR pulse is the sensitivity of the R and C values to the power-supply ramp characteristics. When the power supply ramp is rapid, the R and C values can be calculated so that the time to reach the switching threshold of the Schmitt trigger is enough to apply a long enough reset pulse ...

  4. PS-ON Signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS-ON_Signal

    #PS_ON pin is marked by number 16. PS-ON Signal is a pin on a 20-pin or 24-pin ATX-specified power connector used to turn a personal computer power supply unit on/off. The PS_ON pin is normally pulled high in an open-circuit, but will turn on the power supply when it is pulled low, by shorting it to the common signal (COM).

    Some manufacturers of UPS units categorize their products in accordance with the number of power-related problems they address. [1] A UPS unit may also introduce problems with electric power quality. To prevent this, a UPS should be selected not only by capacity but also by the quality of power that is required by the equipment that is being ...

  7. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

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

    These power supplies were generally not capable of power saving modes such as standby or "soft off", or scheduled turn-on power controls. Due to the always-on design, in the event of a short circuit, either a fuse would blow, or a switched-mode supply would repeatedly cut the power, wait a brief period of time, and attempt to restart. For some ...

  8. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Seen with an oscilloscope, the domestic power supply in North America would look like a sine wave, oscillating between −170 volts and 170 volts, giving an effective voltage of 120 volts RMS. [18] Three-phase electric power is more efficient in terms of power delivered per cable used, and is more suited to running large electric motors. Some ...

  9. Unit commitment problem in electrical power production

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_Commitment_Problem_in...

    The unit commitment problem (UC) in electrical power production is a large family of mathematical optimization problems where the production of a set of electrical generators is coordinated in order to achieve some common target, usually either matching the energy demand at minimum cost or maximizing revenue from electricity production.
