The phrase "apply power to" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to engineering, electronics, or any situation where power needs to be supplied to a device or system.
Example: "To start the machine, you need to apply power to the main circuit."
Alternatives: "supply power to" or "provide power to".
"You'd turn the thing over, and apply power to make it go faster," he said.
By contrast, the HP technology is nonvolatile — it is necessary only to apply power to change the state of the switch and to read its value.
An electronic traction control system prevents a wheel from skidding by applying a brake to that wheel, enabling the differential to apply power to the other wheel.
The new AWD system employs an electric motor, attached to the rear axle, to apply power to the rear wheel on takeoff from a dead stop and any time extra traction is required.
Move it to the position that does not apply power to the engine.
If your user manual says it's best to let the car warm up a little first before forcing it to apply power to the wheels, it's best to follow it and do so; for as written several times before, the people who made it know best.
Reversible motion direction is achieved through applying power to different electrodes.
Each had long evinced an extraordinary self-confidence (coupled with a tendency to be dismissive of others) and a conviction that no social problem, however complex and seemingly intractable, could resist his or her applied power to solve it.
One key finding was that varying the applied power to the extraction was essentially irrelevant; inspection of the applied power profile during extraction revealed that the power was strictly modulated to maintain a constant temperature in the reaction cell.
Hence, the applied power to resonator size ratio will be larger, and the drive level dependency may play a role in the resonator designs.
This can also happen on bicycles, although there is much less power available, if the center of mass is back or up far enough or the rider lurches back when applying power to the pedals.
