Some of the Parts of a Power Supply are:
A DC Power Supply Unit or a power supply unit (PSU) is deriving power from the AC mains (ac or mains line110/220 VAC) supply performs a number of tasks:
1:- It changes (increase or decrease, mostly decreases the level of supply to a value suitable for driving the load circuit.
2:- It produces a DC supply from a AC supply.
3:- It prevents any AC from appearing at the supply output terminals.
4:- It will ensure that the output voltage is at a constant level or not, independent or irrespective of changes in following parameters:-
(a) The AC supply voltage at the supply input.
(b) The Load current drawn from the supply output.
(c) and Temperature.
To do these things the basic power supply unit or a PSU has four main stages, those are:-
Power supplies in recent times have greatly improved in reliability now but, because they have to handle considerably higher voltages and currents, they are often the most susceptible to failure of any part of an electronic circuits.
Modern power supplies have also increased greatly in its complexity, and they can supply very stable output voltages with or without a controlled feedback systems. Many of the times we incorporat a automatic safety circuit to prevent dangerous or disastrous over voltage or over current situations.
That's why the study of modern electronics basics is essential to understand the electronic systems today.
NOTE:-
Warning
If you are considering building or repairing a power supply, especially one that is powered from mains (line) voltages the power supply CIRCUIT on this site will help you understand how many commonly encountered circuits work. However you must realise that the voltages and currents present in many power supplies are very dangerous and fetal, and can be present even when the power supply is switched off! At worst, the high voltages present in power supplies can, and from time to time really do KILL.
The information provided on this site will not alone, qualify you to work safely on power supplies units or simply PSU. You must also have the skills and equipment to work safely.
