- A computer's power supply converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a computer. You are building a new computer. You are deciding which type of power supply to install. Which of the following definitions BEST describes a valid type of power supply? Correct Answer: A single-rail power supply provides one rail (PCB trace). This provides the best safety for the computer by providing a single point of shutdown in the event of a short circuit. Correct Answer: A single-rail power supply provides one rail (PCB trace) used to always provide equal wattage to all devices attached to the power supply. Correct Answer: A dual-rail power supply provides separate rails (PCB traces) used to provide equal wattage to the devices attached to each rail. Correct Answer: A dual-rail power supply provides separate rails (PCB traces) used to balance the power load between multiple circuits, which prevents any one circuit from becoming overloaded.arrow_forwardQUESTION-3: In the system with open and closed protection zones given in the figure below: a) Which breakers will open for fault at point F1? b) For a fault at point F2, if B3 fails to operate, which breakers should be operated to provide back-up protection?

Shifts electrical power from the normal utility power source to the standby power source B. Isolates the utility source from the standby source in such a way that there is no feedback from the generator to the utility’s system or vice versa C. When normal power is restored, the automatic transfer switch resets itself and is ready for the next power outage D. Provides for measuring of power usage by the residents during periods of brownouts with the generator offline.arrow_forward
