áramellátó

Áramellátó is a Hungarian term that translates to "power supply" in English. It refers to any device or system that provides electrical energy to another component or device. In its simplest form, an áramellátó can be a battery or a direct connection to the electrical grid.

More complex áramellátók are often found within electronic devices, where they perform several crucial functions. These internal power supplies regulate voltage and current to meet the specific requirements of the components they serve. They often convert alternating current (AC) from the mains into direct current (DC), which is necessary for most electronic circuits. They also typically provide multiple voltage levels, each tailored to different parts of the device.

The design of an áramellátó is critical for the stable and reliable operation of the equipment it powers. Inadequate or unstable power can lead to malfunctions, reduced performance, or even permanent damage to electronic components. Therefore, manufacturers invest significant effort in designing efficient and robust áramellátók. Types of áramellátók vary widely, from small adapters for consumer electronics to large industrial power generation and distribution systems. The term encompasses everything from a simple wall adapter to a sophisticated uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that provides backup power during outages.
