What is a Power Supply?

A Power Supply is a component which converts available alternating current or direct current electrical power into a form required to operate another component or set. The item may consist of a combination of an INVERTOR, VIBRATOR; VIBRATOR, INTERRUPTER; VIBRATOR, SELF-RECTIFYING; INVERTOR, POWER, STATIC; with a transformer and rectifier(s) employing electron tubes, semiconductor diode or metallic (dry disc) type components, or the synchronized secondary contact(s) of a VIBRATOR, SELF-RECTIFYING; or may consist of electron tubes, semiconductor diode or metallic (dry disc) type rectifiers and capacitors in transformerless (alternating current-direct current type) circuits which may be of the voltage-multiplier type. The item may incorporate a FILTER, DIRECT CURRENT POWER and provisions for regulation of input and/or output voltage. The item may have special input, output, control or other facilities for applications in specialized environments such as medical, dental or other operations. Excludes battery chargers and rotating machinery types of items, such as motor generators and dynamotors.

What is a Power Transformer?

A Power Transformer (TRANSFORMER,POWER) is a transformer consisting of one or more primary winding(s) and one or more secondary winding(s). It may be designed for direct connection to an alternating current source for purposes of changing the secondary volts and amperes or designed to eliminate metallic interconnection between circuits in an overall one to one voltage ratio, with or without additional output windings, or items designed to automatically maintain a constant output voltage within specified limits under varying input or load conditions. Also includes items having a provision for mechanically changing the turns ratio or inductive coupling in progressive increments by means of voltage taps, ratio adjuster, or devices oe similar design. For transformers having winding(s) common to both input and output circuits, see TRANSFORMER (1), POWER, AUTOTRANSFORMER. Excludes TRANSFORMER (1), PULSE.

NATO Supply Class 6120 is specifically designated for Transformers: Distribution And Power Station. This class falls under NATO Supply Group 61, which is dedicated to Electric Wire, And Power And Distribution Equipment.

Transformers in this class are designed for distribution and power station applications. They are electrical devices that transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. Transformers in this class are typically used to step up or step down voltage levels in power distribution systems.

These transformers are specifically designed for distribution and power station purposes, meaning they are intended for use in electrical power distribution networks and substations. They are built to handle high voltage levels and provide reliable and efficient power distribution.

NATO Supply Group 61, Electric Wire, And Power And Distribution Equipment, encompasses a wide range of electrical equipment used in power transmission and distribution systems. This includes various types of wires, cables, connectors, switches, circuit breakers, and other equipment necessary for the efficient and safe distribution of electrical power.

In summary, NATO Supply Class 6120 for Transformers: Distribution And Power Station is a specific category within NATO Supply Group 61 for Electric Wire, And Power And Distribution Equipment. It includes transformers designed for power distribution and station applications, while the supply group covers a broader range of electrical equipment used in power transmission and distribution systems.
