  2. AC-to-AC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC-to-AC_converter

    Such phase-controlled thyristor-based rectifiers however have higher AC line distortion and lower power factor at low load than diode-based rectifiers. An AC-AC converter with approximately sinusoidal input currents and bidirectional power flow can be realized by coupling a pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier and a PWM inverter to the DC ...

  4. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, a 900-watt power supply with the 80 Plus Silver efficiency rating (which means that such a power supply is designed to be at least 85% efficient for loads above 180 W) may only be 73% efficient when the load is lower than 100 W, which is a typical idle power for a desktop computer. Thus, for a 100 W load, losses for this supply ...

    MSZ 9781-2 230 V 400 V 50 Hz Iceland: C, F 230 V 400 V 50 Hz India: C, D, M IS 1293 [35] 230 V [7] 400 V [36] 50 Hz (1) It is worth noting that the combination of a type C, E or F plug with a type D socket may often be workable; but it is unsafe to use. [37] [38] type C, E & F plugs/sockets are not accepted in the IS 1293 standard. The standard ...

  6. AC power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power

    The blinking of non-incandescent city lights is shown in this motion-blurred long exposure. The AC nature of the mains power is revealed by the dashed appearance of the traces of moving lights. In an electric circuit, instantaneous power is the time rate of flow of energy past a given point of the circuit.

  7. Electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power

    Electric power is the rate of transfer of electrical energy within a circuit.Its SI unit is the watt, the general unit of power, defined as one joule per second.Standard prefixes apply to watts as with other SI units: thousands, millions and billions of watts are called kilowatts, megawatts and gigawatts respectively.

  9. AC adapter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_adapter

    An AC adapter or AC/DC adapter (also called a wall charger, power adapter, power brick, or wall wart) [1] is a type of external power supply, often enclosed in a case similar to an AC plug. [2] AC adapters deliver electric power to devices that lack internal components to draw voltage and power from mains power themselves.
