Excerpt from: Atari 8-Bit Computers Frequently Asked Questions List https://mcurrent.name/atari-8-bit/faq.txt Enhanced versions (Text, A4 PDF, US Letter PDF): http://www.atari800xl.eu/ July 12, 2024 Subject: 6.2) What are the power requirements for my Atari components? This section is also kept at: https://mcurrent.name/powersupplies/atari8bitpower.txt Some of the pictures were scraped from various Internet web sites by MC; Some of the pics are originals by: MC (generally, common 120V supplies), Laurent Delsarte (many of the 220V supplies, the 16804, the 9W CX261, the C017945/566T, the C060529), wood_jl ("Black Brick"), Dan of (http://www.southtown-homebrew.com/) (830 supply), dean_rambler (C062195), E. Turner (C060479), Fred Meijer (C061763-107), Klas Olsson (FW6799), John S (C070046-01) The household "mains" electricity supply is an alternating current (AC) that can be described with two parameters: the voltage (in volts) and the frequency (in Hz). In North America, the standard household wall outlet offers 120V/60Hz AC power. The rest of the world uses various AC standards including 230V/50Hz (UK/Europe), 220V/50Hz, 240V/50Hz, 110V/60Hz, 110V/50Hz, 127V/60Hz (parts of Brazil), 100V/50Hz (parts of Japan), and 100V/60Hz (other parts of Japan). Here is the Wikipedia article listing current household power outlet standards in use around the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country In the time of 8-bit Atari computers and peripherals, North America used 120V/60Hz, most of continental Europe used 220V/50Hz, and the UK used 240V/50Hz. In any case, the household alternating current must be converted to a direct current (DC) for use by electrical devices such as Atari computers and peripherals: o In some cases, the entire conversion is done via an external "power supply" that sits between the wall outlet and the electrical device. Such power supplies both transform the household power to a lower voltage, and they also rectify the current from AC to DC. o In some cases, the external "power supply" is simply a transformer that lowers the household voltage. The lowered AC voltage is rectified to DC inside the device. o In some cases, both the transformer and the rectifier are located inside the computer or peripheral itself. The device plugs directly into the wall outlet, with no external "power supply" needed. The INPUT of an external power supply will indicate: 1) Input voltage in units of volts (120V for N.Am., 240V UK, 220V Euro) 2) Input frequency in units of hertz (60Hz for N.Am., 50Hz UK/Euro) 3) Peak power rating. The power rating is the highest amount of power the unit can supply, according to the manufacturer, but this is only for a very brief time. This peak power rating may be indicated in units of volt-amperes (VA) or in units of watts (W). The OUTPUT of an external power supply will indicate: 1) Output voltage, in units of volts (V) 2) Whether the output voltage is AC or DC 3) Either: - Sustained output current, in units of amperes (A) or milliamperes (mA) - Sustained output power, in units of volt-amperes (VA) or watts (W) Higher-than-specified sustained power and current capacities are entirely usable, and often preferable because such supplies run cooler and last longer. The power units W (watts) and VA (volt-amperes) are not identical: Direct Current (DC): Power (in watts) = current (in amperes) * voltage (in volts) Alternating Current (AC): Apparent Power (in volt-amperes) = current (in amperes) * voltage (in volts) Effective/True Power (in watts) = current (in amperes) * voltage (in volts) * cosine(phase, or angle of lag) cosine(phase) is known as the "power factor" The following are details of original equipment external power supplies for use with 8-bit Atari computers and peripherals in Atari's major markets of USA/Canada, UK, and Western Europe. The XEP80 and SX212 power requirements are the same as for the Atari 2600, so 2600 original equipment power supplies for the same markets are also documented here. Apparently inconsistent typography for the rest of this section matches what is printed on the units themselves.
