power supply

SoP.?

(Lots of translations from Wikipedia with wrong script codes, no transliterations.) --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:31, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Keep. While the first sense is probably SoP, it is included in several other dictionaries. The second sense feels less SoP to me since the component is actually a converter/transformer. It is also a set phrase (see PSU and UPS) like central processing unit or random-access memory. - TheDaveRoss 12:35, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Keep, I think some of the translations may belong to the first sense, not sense 2. DonnanZ (talk) 13:02, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Delete. It's just a supply of power. PseudoSkull (talk) 16:00, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Keep. In engineering it means an apparatus, and no one says supply of power in that sense. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 11:04, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Keep per Dave and Shinji. Cheers! bd2412 T 12:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Keep The way it is used with respect to electronic/electrical devices seems to me to not be SoP. Although it's meaning is obviously derived from the component terms, it seems to have taken on a much narrower, more specialized meaning in that context. DCDuring TALK 12:53, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Keep the the second definition, change the first to {{&lit}}. Patching an electrical cord could be construed as "repairing the power supply" in the SOP sense, but any tech who worded it that way on an invoice would probably be fired. Chuck Entz (talk) 13:29, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
