The power startup process is an amazing feat of engineering that touches every aspect of modern life. Every time we press a switch or plug in an electrical cord, a series of complex processes begin taking place behind-the-scenes. Power supplies provide electrical current to activate electronic components of devices or systems, activating their electronics. Equipment typically performs tests to make sure everything is functioning optimally before beginning operations. At this stage, microprocessors, sensors and switches collaborate to ensure the safety and stability of any given device. Devices are then prepared to perform tasks ranging from switching on a smartphone to operating an industrial machine as part of the power-on process - an automated yet effortless experience which often goes undetected by its participants.
