What is Power supply unit?
A powersupply unit (PSU) converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a computer. Modern personal computers universally use a switched-mode power supply. Some power supplies have a manual selector for input voltage, while others automatically adapt to the supply voltage. Most modern desktop personal computer power supplies conform to the PSU specification, which includes form factor and voltage tolerances. While a PSU/ power supply is connected to the mains supply, it always provides a 5 V standby (5VSB) voltage so that the standby functions on the computer and certain peripherals are powered. PSU power supplies are turned on and off by a signal from the motherboard. They also provide a Electricity signal to the motherboard to indicate when the DC voltages are in spec, so that the computer is able to safely power up and boot.
