Greeting and Salutations...
That pesky 240 VA thing again.
The below quote is taken from the ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide Ver. 2.2:
The entire document can be viewed here.
Something interesting about the "Design Guide" is that it is a design guide. My take has been always that compliance is not a requirement. So while the requirements of UL
1950/CSA 950 / EN 60950/IEC 950 are spelled out I could never find information forcing compliance to those specifications.
Years ago I became more involved with computer hardware review sites than I think I ever wanted to be with a focus on power supplies. Mostly loading and testing them.
On a side and off topic note I have been scarce around here and MrAl I owe you!
I am now 100% retired and have been doing some traveling. I like this retired stuff so far. I am also into now ripping the house apart with final home improvements. Sort of butt deep in alligators as I try to remember my primary mission was to drain the swamp.
