Question 5

What is a Power Supply Assembly?

Accepted Answer

A Power Supply Assembly is two or more independent power supplies having a common mounting or mounted on each other.

Question 6

What is a Metallic Rectifier?

Accepted Answer

A Metallic Rectifier (RECTIFIER,METALLIC) is an electrical item (the working element of which is constructed essentially of metallic substances) which changes alternating current to direct current by the rectifying action occurring at the junction interface between a metallic conductor and a semiconductor. Excludes sets of metallic rectifiers which are not rated for rectifying capabilities but are used as suppressors. For items containing germanium or silicon, see SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE (1), DIODE; SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE SET and RECTIFIER, SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE. For a complete power supply utilizing metallic rectifiers, see POWER SUPPLY.

Question 7

What is a Battery Charger?

Accepted Answer

A Battery Charger (CHARGER,BATTERY) is a device consisting of one or more components utilizing an alternating or direct current source to reactivate batteries in which reversible chemical reactions occur. 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 Power Supply Set?

Accepted Answer

A Power Supply Set is a collection of items, two or more being major electronic components, which utilizes electronic, vibrator or metallic type rectifiers, and usually associated filter systems, to provide electrical power and may also provide additional facilities such as control and distribution of the electrical power.

Question 11

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 12

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 13

What is a Static Potential Converter?

Accepted Answer

A Static Potential Converter (CONVERTER,POTENTIAL,STATIC) is an item designed to make an electrical circuit in conjunction with electronic components such as transistors, semiconductors and rectifiers. It is mounted between a load operating at a rated voltage and a power supply system operated at a specific voltage. Excludes TRANSFORMER &#40;1&#41;, POTENTIAL.

Question 14

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 15

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.
