Efficiency measurement

Table 1 shows the overall efficiency, measured at 230 V - 50 Hz and 115 V - 60 Hz input

voltage and different loads.

supplies. The efficiency has been measured at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, and the average

efficiency according to the ES-2 standard has been calculated. As shown in Table 1 it is very

high at both nominal mains.

The measured output voltage at different load conditions is also shown in Table 1. As visible,

the voltage is very stable over the entire output load range.

The measured efficiency is shown in Figure 3, while Figure 4 shows the efficiency at

maximum load over the entire AC input voltage mains range.
