Re: FW: power factor

Hi John: Can you tell me the typical power consumption of a desktop VDU. For example a Sun workstation VDU rating plate indicates 220-230 V 1.5A. Rather than assume or guess a power factor value, what would the power reading (Watts) be approximately at 220V for nornal

RE: power factor

2001-01-09 Thread WOODS
I would estimate the power factor for most capacitor input power supplies to be about 0.7, so a VDU operating at 330VA would have a power consumption of about 230W. Of course the power consumption will be higher if power factor correction has been added to meet the harmonics emissions standard,.

David, 1. For the EU, the EMC standard is EN 60601-1-2. This standard calls out CISPR 11 for radiated emissions, and various obsolete IEC 801 standards for immunity. In addition, check out Clause 36 of the particular safety standard EN 60601-2-XX (if there is one) for your specific product type.
