power supplies
Electricity delivery units
Power supplies are devices that convert electrical power from one form to another, typically transforming AC current from a wall outlet into the DC current that electronic devices require.
Every desktop computer, laptop charger, and game console contains or connects to a power supply.
The term also covers backup systems like uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) that provide emergency power during outages.
