Efficiency

Efficiency, in this case — the ratio of the power of the power supply (see "Power") to its power consumption. The higher the efficiency, the more efficient the power supply, the less energy it consumes from the network at the same output power, and the cheaper it is to operate. Efficiency may differ depending on the load; the characteristics can indicate both the minimum efficiency and its value at an average load (50%).

It should be noted that compliance with one or another level of 80PLUS efficiency directly depends on this indicator (for more details, see "Certificate").

Protection

Protection circuits provided in the power supply. In addition to the OVP (overvoltage protection), OPP (overcurrent/power protection), and SCP (short circuit protection) described above, modern PSUs may include the following safety features:

— O.C.P. Overload protection on individual power outputs. It differs from OPP in that it takes into account not the total current consumption, but the current at each output separately.

— UVP. Undervoltage protection at the output of the power supply. For some components, such a voltage is as undesirable as an increased voltage: for example, a hard drive at reduced power cannot spin the plates to the required speeds. Usually, UVP is activated when the voltage drops by 20 – 25%.

— OTP. Protection against overheating of individual components of the power supply.

— SIP. Protection against voltage surges and surges is, in fact, a built-in stabilizer that can smooth out these surges to a certain extent. This feature does not eliminate the need for an external stabilizer, but it improves the overall performance of the protection.

— A.F.C. Not so much a protective as an “energy saving” function: automatic fan speed control, which allows you to change the speed depending on the load and the actual heat dissipation of the PSU. In addition to saving energy, this adjustment also reduces wear on the moving parts of the cooler.

— C.E. Power supply complies with European Union dire...ctives for energy efficiency and safety.

— CB. Power supply complies with IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) directives regarding the safety of electrical equipment and components.

— FCC. Power supply complies with FCC (Federal Communications Commission) directives, especially regarding electromagnetic interference.

— CCC. Compliance of the power supply with the requirements necessary for official certification in the Chinese market (PRC).

— K.C. Compliance of the power supply with the requirements necessary for official certification in the South Korean market.

— BSMI. Compliance of the power supply with the requirements required for official certification in the Taiwan market.

— RCM. Power supply meets the requirements for official certification in the Australian and New Zealand market. RCM requirements are primarily concerned with safe use and electromagnetic compatibility.

— TUV-RH. Power supply meets the criteria for certification by TÜV Rheinland Group, one of the world's largest and most respected auditing and certification companies. Most often, we are talking about the TÜV-Mark Approval certificate, which indicates that the individual parts of the device (body, boards, parts, switches, etc.) comply with the requirements for safe use.

— cTUVus. Another certification held by the above mentioned TÜV Rheinland Group. In this case, we are talking about the compliance of the power supply with the technical requirements necessary for admission to the markets of the USA and Canada. The cTUVus certificate has the same legal validity as certificates issued directly by the authorities in those countries.

— EAC. Compliance of the power supply with the technical requirements of the Eurasian Economic Union (former Customs Union).
