Use only for devices containing resistors, metallic, or electronic type rectifiers or vibrators and which are specifically designed for the purpose of charging batteries. May include filters, meters, load contactor and alarm circuits. May include battery charging switchboards which are supplied with integral or external means of rectification.

Question 8

What is a Power Supply Subassembly?

Accepted Answer

A Power Supply Subassembly is two or more different types of items having a common mounting or mounted on each other which together form a portion of a power supply but which in itself is not a complete functioning item and cannot be assigned a more definite item name.

Question 9

What is a Power Supply?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

What is a Self-Rectifying Vibrator?

Accepted Answer

A Self-Rectifying Vibrator (VIBRATOR,SELF-RECTIFYING) is an electromechanical device which interrupts the direct current input by means of a coil-driven vibrating armature (reed) whose contacts alternately open and close the direct current circuit. It is equipped with a second set of contacts which operate in synchronism with the first set and are mounted on either the same or a separate (split) armature to rectify the stepped-up alternating current voltage obtained from an external transformer secondary to produce a pulsating direct current output. For items designed to operate over a wide and comparatively high frequency range and whose coil may be excited from either an alternating current or a direct current, see CHOPPER, ELECTRONIC.

Question 11

What is a Power Supply Control?

Accepted Answer

A Power Supply Control (CONTROL,POWER SUPPLY) is a component which determines the mode of operation of one or more power supplies.

Question 12

What is a Power Supply Adapter?

Accepted Answer

A Power Supply Adapter (ADAPTER,POWER SUPPLY) is an adapter which provides facilities for electrically connecting one or more power supplies to another component.It may have additional facilities for supporting and securing electrical/electronic equipment to an aircraft, vehicle or other mobile equipment.

Question 13

What is a Battery Power Supply?

Accepted Answer

A Battery Power Supply is an item designed to contain one or more batteries and other control parts. It may contain the battery(ies), but must contain the control parts, which are used for controlling the output voltage(s) and/or activation of the battery(ies). It is a self-contained unit that provides for a direct current (DC) output.The control parts include items, such a remote control units.Excludes CHARGER, RADIAC DETECTOR.

Question 14

What is a Metallic Rectifier Assembly?

Accepted Answer

A Metallic Rectifier Assembly (RECTIFIER ASSEMBLY,METALLIC) is two or more individual rectifiers having a common mounting or mounted on each other, or two or more individual rectifiers fabricated into a common inseparable body. Each rectifier must have individual ratings. For rectifiers with an overall circuit rating, see RECTIFIER, METALLIC. See also RECTIFIER SET, METALLIC.

Question 15

What is a Static Power Inverter?

Accepted Answer

A Static Power Inverter (INVERTER,POWER,STATIC) is an item that changes a direct current input into a single or multiple phase alternating current output, by the combined action of oscillators, semiconductor devices, magnetic amplifiers, phase splitters, and the like. For items that perform the same function by means of rotating machine techniques, see MOTOR-GENERATOR. See also CONVERTER, FREQUENCY, STATIC.

Question 16

What is a Battery Charger Subassembly?

Accepted Answer

A Battery Charger Subassembly (CHARGER SUBASSEMBLY,BATTERY) is two or more different types of items having a common mounting or mounted on each other which together form a portion of a CHARGER, BATTERY but which in itself is not a complete functioning item and cannot be assigned a more definite item name.

Question 17

What is a Battery Analyzer-Charger?

Accepted Answer

A Battery Analyzer-Charger (ANALYZER-CHARGER,BATTERY) is an item which primarily maintains rechargeable batteries by analyzing, charging, rejuvenating, reconditioning, and/or testing them. It will display remaining amphere-hours in cells. It may be used as a power supply in lieu of the actual powering device (battery).

Question 18

What is a Battery Charger Adapter?

Accepted Answer

A Battery Charger Adapter (ADAPTER,BATTERY CHARGER) is an adapter designed to enable the electric connection of a CHARGER, BATTERY (00480) with one or more BATTERY, STORAGE (00013) of identical or different construction.

Question 19

What is a Direct Current To Direct Current Converter?

Accepted Answer

A Direct Current To Direct Current Converter (CONVERTER,DIRECT CURRENT TO DIRECT CURRENT) is a device which converts direct current of one voltage to direct current of another voltage.

Question 20

What is an Uninterruptible Power Supply?

Accepted Answer

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (POWER SUPPLY,UNINTERRUPTIBLE) is an item that provides continuous backup power to electronic devices in the event of a utility power dip or blackout.  It generally contains a battery and a power inverter that provides the necessary backup power in the event of a loss of normal input utility power.  It may also contain a power line filter or power line conditioning devices.  Excludes power supplies without standby power, electrical power inverers, and batteries.
