Power Control system diagram
- Power Source (Left Side)
- High Power characteristics:
- Very Dangerous
- Very Difficult to Control
- High Cost to Control
- Central Control/Distribution System (Center)
- Distributor: Shares/distributes power
- Transformer: Steps down power
- Circuit Breaker: Stops power
- UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply): Saves power
- Power Control (multi-step)
- Final Distribution (Right Side)
- Low Power characteristics:
- Power for computing
- Complex Control Required
- Reduced dangers
The diagram shows the complete process of how high-power electricity is safely and efficiently controlled and converted into low-power suitable for computing systems. The power flow is illustrated through a “Delivery” phase, passing through various protective and control devices before being distributed to multiple servers or computing equipment.
The system emphasizes safety and control through multiple stages:
- Initial high-power input is marked as dangerous and difficult to control
- Multiple control mechanisms (transformer, circuit breaker, UPS) manage the power
- The distributor splits the controlled power to multiple endpoints
- Final output is appropriate for computing equipment
This setup ensures safe and reliable power distribution while reducing the risks associated with high-power electrical systems.
