Abstract
An ATX compatible power supply unit having at least one AC power inlet and at least one AC power cable, the AC power inlet configured to support nominal contact resistances of less than 8 milliohms per contact or the AC power cable configured to support series resistances of less than 4 milliohms per linear foot of individual conductor is disclosed.
Claims44
An ATX compatible power supply unit for use with a computer, the ATX compatible power supply unit comprising:
- at least one AC power inlet mounted on the ATX compatible power supply unit, the at least one AC power inlet comprising at least two contacts;
- and
- at least one AC power cable comprising at least two individual conductors that connect to the at least one AC power inlet,
- wherein the at least one AC power inlet is configured to support nominal contact resistances of less than 8 milliohms per contact or the at least one AC power cable is configured to support series resistances of less than 4 milliohms per linear foot of individual conductor.
An ATX compatible power supply unit for use with a computer, the ATX compatible power supply unit comprising:
- at least one AC power cable comprising, at a first end, at least two individual conductors that are each wired directly to a printed circuit board internal to a power supply chassis of the power supply unit,
- wherein the at least one AC power cable is configured to support series resistances of less than 4 milliohms per linear foot of individual conductor.
An ATX compatible power supply unit for use with a computer, the ATX compatible power supply unit comprising:
- an AC power inlet that is compatible with or compliant with IEC 60320 standard is mounted on a removable plate and is wired to a connector installed in the ATX compatible power supply unit, the removable plate being replaceable with a removable terminal cover for covering the connector if the connector is configured to support nominal contact resistances of less than 8 milliohms per contact.
