Hva er et IEC 62368-1:2018 power supply `?

IEC 62368-1:2018er benyttes til sikkethet for elektriske og elektroniske apparater angående audio, video , informasjon og kommunikasjonsteknologi, business og kontormaskiner med en gradert spenning som ikke overtiger 600V. Dette er en produktsikkerhet standard som klassifiserer energi kilder, foreskrevne beskyttelser mot disse energi- kilder og gir veiledning ved bruk av - og krav til disse beskyttelser. De foreskrevne beskyttelseskrav er ment å redusere sannsynlighet for smerte, injurier og i tilfelle brann - eiendomsskader. Et IEC 62368 godkjent AC/DC power supply , er et adapter som er testet og sertifisert i henhold til gitte standard.

Erstatter et IEC 62368-1 godkjent power supply et IEC 60950-1 godkjent power supply ? 20 desember 2020 er sikkerhets- standardene IEC 60950-1 og IEC 60065 historie og erstattes av IEC 62368-1 vedrørende tekniske- og audio video produkter. I nord-Amerika vil ETL og UL60950-1 godkjenninger fortsatt gjelde og vil antageligvis bli benyttet inntil videre. Hva er Level VI effektivitet ? Nummerene I til VI er en internasjonal effektmerkeprotokoll som tillater produsenter å designe effektivitetsnivået av et produkt . Dette er basert på målinger av energieffektiviteten og forbruk ved no load av eksterne AC/DC adaptere eller power supply som testes ved ulike lastnivå. No load forbruket refererer til forbruk som et eksternt power supply trekker selv om produktet som skal strømforsynes er slått av eller koplet ut. Er Level VI et krav ? Level VI effektivitet er obligatorisk i mange land og regioner for spesielle produkter eller applikasjoner. Hva er ECO Design Directive 2009/125/EC ? ECO-Design Direktivet er lovbelagt i Europa i de siste energikrav for bevaring av AC/DC adaptere og eksterne power. Hva er CoCTier 2 for Europa ? Europeiske CoCTier2 regulering viser krav til effektmål for eksterne power supply og AC adaptere publisert av European Commission JRC ( Joint Research Center) for fornybare energienheter. Disse mål er frivillige og er ikke bestemt av lover. Hva er en plug-in AC/DC adapter ? Plug-in AC/DC adaptere er også kjent som AC adaptere eller AC/DC convertere og er en type eksternt power supply. Noen elektriske enheter krever strøm , men har mangel på interne komponenter for å utlede ønsket spenning og strøm. Det er her AC adaptere blir benyttet for å konvertere AC strøm til DC spenning. Hvordan virker et AC/DC adapter ? AC/DC adapteret eller eksternt power supply består av et power supply som er beskyttet i et plasthus tilsvarende en AC plugg, derav navn som plug type, wall plug in,plug in eller plugtop adapter. Adapteret blir montert i vegguttaket og AC spenning blir så omdannet av AC/DC adapteret til DC spenning som er koplet til apparatet via en utgangskabel.
