What does the 80PLUS certification for the computer power mark mean?

The meaning of low-energy power supply, now the computer usage rate is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more electricity is burning. For the concept of low-carbon environmental protection, many accessories have also launched energy-saving things. For example, the Power Supply 80PLUS certification is a nationwide energy-saving cash incentive program issued by the U.S. Department of Energy Administration, and implemented by ECOS Consulting.

Encourage system vendors to choose to use power supplies with full load, 50% load, 20% load efficiency of more than 80% and PF value greater than under rated load conditions when producing desktops or servers. Manufacturers who are certified in the U.S. are eligible for the ** subsidy.

The 80 Plus program is a nationwide cash incentive program for energy savings implemented by the U.S. Department of Energy and implemented by ECOS Consulting. At first, in order to reduce energy consumption, system vendors are encouraged to use power supplies with full load, 50% load, 20% load efficiency of more than 80% and PF value greater than under rated load conditions when producing desktops or servers. 80plus White Label Load Efficiency 20% 80% 50% 80% 100% 80% 80plus Bronze Load Efficiency 20% 82% 50% 85% 100% 82% 80plus Silver Load Efficiency 20% 85% 50% 88% 100% 85% 80plus Gold Load Efficiency 20% 87% 50% 90% 100% 87% 80plus Platinum Load Efficiency 20% 9x% 50% 9x% 100% 9x%.

This is an energy-saving and low-consumption system solution. The 80 Plus program is a nationwide energy-saving cash incentive program planned by the U.S. Department of Energy and administered by ECOS Consulting. Reference address.

- 80plus certification can be used as a reference for the quality of the power supply, but it is not an absolute standard for evaluating the quality of a power supply;

The higher-level 80plus certified power supply is generally more power-efficient, but players must choose reasonably according to their actual needs;

Only the 80PLUS certified power supply that can find the relevant data on ECOVA is the 80PLUS power supply in the true sense;

For counterfeit 80plus certification or power supply products that have played the certification sideline, players should try to avoid them;

In fact, in a word, don't be too superstitious about 80plus certification. For PC power supplies, 80PLUS certification is more of a plus, compared to products without certification, we do recommend players to buy power products that have passed 80PLUS certification. It's just that this is not a must-have option, don't focus only on 80plus when buying products, treat 80plus certification rationally, and reasonably choose the power supply products that are really suitable for you is the key.

Of course it's important! Power 80plus Gold Logo, 80

Plus Energy Efficiency Certification Program. This power supply** device can exert at least 80% of the operating efficiency at % or 100% load, effectively reducing the power wasted when converting the voltage of the power supply** to less than 20%, and is a high-efficiency model with a power factor of more than 90%. 『80

PLUS adopts very strict certification tests, especially the requirements must reach 80% efficiency level at 20% load to meet the specifications, for a 400W power supply**, 20%, that is, only 80W power load, the pursuit of such high efficiency in this low load situation requires a very high technical level and ability, whether it is a desktop or server computer, AC AC power conversion to DC DC power through the power supply**, as a computer CPU, Power usage of hard drives and their peripherals.

If consumers use non-efficient power supplies, about 30% to 45% of the power consumption of desktop computers will be generated, and about 125 150 will be wasted in a year

kWh of electricity;

Judging from the way the server is used quietly throughout the year without shutting down, it will waste 450-720 power per year

KWH (equivalent to the power consumption of a two-door refrigerator), so for a business or individual who uses heavy computers, choosing to use a high-efficiency power supply with active power factor will help to save more energy and costs.
