2. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

   A simple voltage dropper can be used to reduce the voltage for low-power devices; if more than 12V is required, or for high-powered devices, a switched-mode power supply is used. The output will usually be DC in the range 1.5–24 V. Power supplies that output either 100–120 V AC or 210–240 V AC are available; they are called inverters ...

3. Crowbar (circuit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowbar_(circuit)

   A crowbar circuit is an electrical circuit used for preventing an overvoltage or surge condition of a power supply unit from damaging the circuits attached to the power supply. It operates by putting a short circuit or low resistance path across the voltage output (V o ), like dropping a crowbar across the output terminals of the power supply.

4. Flyback converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_converter

   Low-power switch-mode power supplies (cell phone charger, standby power supply in PCs) Low-cost multiple-output power supplies (e.g., main PC supplies <250 W [citation needed]) The flyback converter is commonly used at the 50 to 100 W power range, as well as in highvoltage power supplies for televisions and computer monitors - Fundamentals of ...

5. Traction substation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_substation

   A traction substation, traction current converter plant, rectifier station or traction power substation (TPSS) is an electrical substation that converts electric power from the form provided by the electrical power industry for public utility service to an appropriate voltage, current type and frequency to supply railways, trams (streetcars) or ...

6. Push–pull converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push–pull_converter

   Push-pull converter (+12V → ±18V; 50W) as potted module. ① transformer; ② and ③ electrolytic capacitors vertical and horizontal mounted; ④ discrete circuit board in through-hole technology. A push–pull converter is a type of DC-to-DC converter, a switching converter that uses a transformer to change the voltage of a DC

7. Power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

   An integrated power supply is one that shares a common printed circuit board with its load. 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 ...
