  2. 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).

  3. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

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

    Since ATX power supplies share both the same dimensions (150 × 86 mm (5.9 × 3.4 in)) and the same mounting layout (four screws arranged on the back side of the unit), with the prior format, there is no major physical difference preventing an AT case from accepting an ATX PSU (or vice versa, if the case can host the power switch needed by an ...

  4. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

    Stand-alone switched-mode power supply An adjustable switched-mode power supply for laboratory use. A switched-mode power supply (SMPS), also called switching-mode power supply, switch-mode power supply, switched power supply, or simply switcher, is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently.

  5. Electrical fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_fault

    In transmission line faults, roughly 5% - 10% are asymmetric line-to-line faults. [2] line-to-ground fault - a short circuit between one line and ground, very often caused by physical contact, for example due to lightning or other storm damage. In transmission line faults, roughly 65% - 70% are asymmetric line-to-ground faults. [2]

  6. 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. Some power supplies are ...

  7. Power good signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_good_signal

    The ATX specification defines the Power-Good signal as a +5-volt (V) signal generated in the power supply when it has passed its internal self-tests and the outputs have stabilized. This normally takes between 0.1 and 0.5 seconds after the power supply is switched on.

  8. 16-pin 12VHPWR connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16-Pin_12vHPWR_connector

    The connector was formally adopted as part of PCI Express 5. [1] The connector was replaced by a minor revision called 12V-2x6 (H++), introduced in 2023, [2] [3] which changed the GPU- and PSU-side connectors to ensure that the sense pins only make contact if the power pins are seated properly. The cables and their connectors remained unchanged.
