Green 120W and 90W power adaptors comply with latest energy efficiency regulations
Sunpower has announced two new series of Mean Well power adaptors which are truly green to the latest internationally-accepted energy efficiency regulations. These series – GST120A and GST90A – are rated at 120W and 90W respectively, and both meet the Energy Independence and Security Act’s new EISA 2007/DoE Level VI standard.
The GST120A, an upgraded version of the established GS120, features a no-load power consumption which is below 0.15W and, like its average operating efficiency, superior to that of the Level V-approved GS120. The GST90A offers the same advantages over the GS90. The new products therefore contribute more effectively to energy-saving and carbon reduction targets in both no-load and operating modes.
The GST products all accept universal 90 – 264VAC inputs via IEC320-C14 AC Class 1 inlets with frame ground, and all have a built-in power factor correction function. With their fanless, free air convection cooling design, they can operate in temperatures from -30°C to +70°C. The adaptors are housed within a 94V-0 flame retardant plastic case and have full protection from short circuit, overload, over voltage and over temperature conditions. A LED indicator allows easy checking of their Power On status.
Both series comply with further global energy efficiency regulations including NRCan, AU/NZMEPS, EU ErP and CoC Version 5. They are also approved for UL/CUL/TUV/BSMI/CCC/PSE/CB/FCC/CE and have a 3-year warranty.
“The external AC-DC power supply market is large, and projected to see substantial growth over the next five years” commented Andy Wall, CEO of Sunpower. “Accordingly their performance has a significant impact on total energy consumption. This is why international expectations of their efficiency and no-load performance levels are becoming more stringent as well as increasingly mandatory. It is also why we’re glad to be offering products like the GST120A and GST90A series and others that will aid our customers in meeting these more challenging energy requirements.”
