WHAT IS HISTORY OF POWER SUPPLY
UNIT(PSU)?
THE HISTORY OF POWER SUPPLY UNIT
▪︎THE HISTORY OF POWER SUPPLY UNIT, INDUSTRY DATES
BACK TO THE EARLY 1920s
▪︎The market for separate power supplies evaporated around
1929, when most radios manufactured included a built-in
power supply.
WHAT IS PSU?
▪︎A POWER SUPPLY UNIT (PSU) IS A
HARDWARE DEVICE THAT
CONVERTS INTO AC ELECTRICITY
INTO DC ELECTRICITY.
▪︎AND THEN DISTRIBUTES IT TO THE REST
OF THE COMPUTER.

▪︎ON A STANDARD DESKTOP


COMPUTER, THE PSU IS WHERE THE
POWER CORD PLUGS INTO AND
USUALLY HAS AN I/O POWER
SWITCH ON IT.
PC POWER SUPPLY
▪︎A POWER SUPPLY IS THE COMPONENT
THAT SUPPLIES POWER TO A
COMPUTER.

▪︎ Some power supplies have a manual switch


for selecting input voltage, while others
automatically adapt to the main voltage.
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF PSU?
The function of PSU is to convert the power from the source into the correct format
and voltage. Because a variety of options exist, the specific power supply function
depends on whether it needs to regulate energy or convert power.
WHY DO WE USE PSU? ▪︎TO CONVERTS ELECTRICITY
CURRENT FROM A SOURCE
TO THE CORRECT VOLTAGE.

▪︎AND FREQUENCY TO
POWER THE LOAD IT COULD
BE AC TO DC OR DC TO DC.

▪︎But it’s a critical piece of any


desktop. Supplying power to
your entire system
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE POWER
SUPPLY CABLES?
POWER SUPPLY CABLES
▪︎A POWER
SUPPLY
CABLES,
TRANSFER
ENERGY FROM
A SOURCE TO
EQUIPMENT.

▪︎CONTROL
CABLES TO
SEND
SIGNALS TO
CONTROL
THE,
FUNCTIONIN
G
CABLES

▪︎It also regulates the voltage and protects your


PC from power surges and short circuits. But
not all PSUs are the same, and they use
different types of connectors and cables to
deliver power
THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF COMPUTER POWER
SUPPLY UNIT

3 TYPES
ATX POWER SUPPLY
ITX POWER SUPPLY
SFX POWER SUPPLY
TYPES OF COMPUTER POWER SUPPLY
UNIT
▪ 1 ATX POWER SUPPLY UNIT-ONE OF THE MOST POWER SUPPLIES
AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET.

▪ 2 ITX POWER SUPPLY UNIT-THESE ARE MUCH SMALLER AND MORE


COMPACT THAN THE STANDARD ATX USUALLY MEASURING 150X40X85
MM.

▪ 3 SFX POWER SUPPLY UNIT-THIS TYPE OF PSU IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER THAN


ATX PSU.
QUIZ
▪ 1 WHAT DOES PSU STAND FOR?
a.POWER SUPPLY UNIT
b.PROCESSOR SUPPORT UNIT
c.PUBLIC SECTOR UNDERTAKINGS
d.POWER STORAGE UNIT
▪ 2 WHY IS PSU IMPORTANT IN A COMPUTER?
a.SUPPLYING POWER TO YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEM IS AN EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT ROLE, AND USING THE WRONG ONE COULD BE COSTLY
b.THE PSU IS NOT AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM
c.A PSU CAN WORK EFFICIENTLY EVEN IF IT’S NOT COMPATIBLE WITH
YOUR COMPUTERS COMPONENTS
d.A PSU IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING STABLE AND REGULATED
POWER TO ALL THE COMPONENTS IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM
▪ 3. What are the different types of PSU connectors?
a.20 + 4 Pin ATX or Motherboard Connector.
b.ATX 12V or the 4-pin CPU Connector.
c.EPS 12V or the 8-pin CPU Connector.
d.all of the above
▪ 4. What is the difference between modular, semi-modular, and non-modular
PSUs?
a.their sizes are larger than the regular non-modular models
b.Non-modular PSUs allow you to remove and add cables as needed, while
modular and semi-modular PSUs come with all cables permanently attached.
c.Modular PSUs are the least efficient because you can remove unnecessary
cables, which reduces the power supply’s overall efficiency
d.Semi-modular PSUs are the most expensive because they offer the most
flexibility in terms of cable management.
5. What is the 80 Plus certification for PSUs?
a.The 80 Plus certification is a voluntary certification program that verifies the
energy efficiency of a PSU. It has different levels such as 80 Plus, 80 Plus
Bronze, 80 Plus Silver, 80 Plus Gold, 80 Plus Platinum, and 80 Plus Titanium.
b.The 80 Plus certification is a measure of how loud the PSU operates.
c.PSUs with the 80 Plus certification are less energy-efficient than those
without the certification.
d.The 80 Plus certification guarantees that the PSU will provide a consistent
and stable power output
▪ 6. How can you calculate the wattage requirements for a PSU?
a.The wattage requirements for a PSU can be estimated by multiplying the
voltage and current ratings of your computer components.
b.To calculate the wattage requirements for a PSU, you simply add up the
power consumption of each individual component in your computer.
c.You can calculate the wattage requirements by adding up the power
consumption of all the components in your system, ensuring that the PSU has
enough wattage to handle the load comfortably.
d.To calculate the wattage requirements for a PSU, you simply add up the
power consumption of each individual component in your computer.
▪ 7. What is the difference between single-rail and multi-rail PSUs?
a. Single-rail PSUs have multiple separate power rails that distribute power to
different components, while multi-rail PSUs have a single power rail that
supplies power to all components.
b.Single-rail PSUs provide the entire power output on a single 12V rail, while
multi-rail PSUs distribute power across multiple 12V rails for better protection
against overloads.
C. Multi-rail PSUs provide better power distribution and stability compared to
single-rail PSUs.
d. Single-rail PSUs are more suitable for high-power gaming systems, while
multi-rail PSUs are better for low-power office computers
▪ 8. What is the role of fan in a PSU?
a.The fan in a PSU is responsible for cooling down the power supply unit itself.
b.The fan in a PSU helps to regulate the voltage output to ensure stable power
delivery.
c.The fan in a PSU is primarily used for aesthetic purposes and has no
functional role.
d.The fan in a PSU helps to maintain proper
▪ 9. What are some common PSU troubleshooting issues?
a.Some common PSU troubleshooting issues include no power supply to the
system, random system shutdowns, excessive fan noise, and electrical arcing
sounds from the PSU.
b.One common PSU troubleshooting issue is that it makes a loud buzzing noise
when in use, indicating a malfunctioning fan.
c. Another common PSU troubleshooting issue is that it causes random blue
screen errors on the computer, indicating a faulty power supply.
d.A third common PSU troubleshooting issue is that it causes the computer to
freeze or crash when running demanding applications, indicating insufficient
power delivery.
▪ 10.When did the power supply unit become fashionable?
a.1950s
b.1920s
c.1940s
d.1990s
