摘要

The adapter has a power supply unit (12) converts the current flowing over an electrical power socket (162) into an output power. A monitoring unit (13) monitors the temperature within the adapter and an operating condition of the power supply unit based on the electrical voltage, current, power consumption and total received power. The monitored data are displayed on a screen provided at an external surface of a housing.
