Blue line indicates signal lines and black lines indicate power lines.
Let me explain you what each block consists of and its function.
Mains Block: This consists of the transformer, bridge rectifier (4 diodes) circuit and a capacitor. This block takes in the power from a wall socket which provides 220-230V AC. The step-down transformer scales down the amplitude of the sine wave, followed by the bridge rectifier which converts it into pulsating DC which when passing through capacitor yields a unregulated DC power of 16-18V (voltage depends on transformer)
