Abstract:
A universal power supply unit for different small electrical appliances, consisting of an energy station (1) with an integrated voltage source and a downstream voltage converter (25) for making available an output voltage and an output current associated with a small appliance to be energized and at least one adapter cable (2) with an appliance-specific output plug (18) for transferring the available output values to a given small appliance, characterized by the fact thatin the appliance-specific adapter cable (2) there is provided an electronic component group (13) for generating an individual programming signal which upon coupling the adapter cable (2) to the energy station (1) is detected by a switch control unit (26) at the voltage transformer (25) and is correspondingly converted by the voltage converter (25) a setting matching the output value to be made available.
