Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007

The stated purpose of the act is “to move the United States toward greater energy independence and security, to increase the production of clean renewable fuels, to protect consumers, to increase the efficiency of products, buildings, and vehicles, to promote research on and deploy greenhouse gas capture and storage options, and to improve the energy performance of the Federal Government, and for other purposes." 
 

What does these mean to us (and you)?

This law affect all power supplies manufacturer after July 1, 2008.  All power supplies that we manufacture after July 1, 2008 must meet this new standard, so that power supplies are energy efficient.  That said;

  • All PS-1210 and PS-1260 power supplies have always met this standard. 
  • PS-1205 or PS-1208 power supplies manufactured after July 1, 2008 will comply with this standard.

Below is our data;


 Compliance to USA Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007, Section 301
    Active Load Mode   No Load Mode
Power Supply Model Nominal Output Current @ 12VDC (amps) Nominal Output Power (watts) VxA Measured Input Power at full load (watts) Measured Efficiency % (nominal/ measured) USA Limit  % Pass   Measured Input Power at no load (watts) USA Limit for no load (watts) Pass
                     
PS-1205 US 0.50 6.00   #DIV/0! >66.13%       0.5  
PS-1208 US 0.80 9.60   #DIV/0! >70.36%       0.5

PS-1208 US 0.80 9.60   #DIV/0! >70.36%       0.5  
                   
                   
USA limit for 1w to 51 watts, efficiency  shall be > [0.09 x ln (nameplate Power)] +0.5
Note these limits are equal to or more restrictive the California Energy Commission (CEC) Tier 2 criteria (Jan 1, 2008)
