4 FAQs about EU DC Uninterruptible Power Supply EK

What are the new EU power supply regulations?

Expanded Scope: The new regulations will apply not only to external power supplies but also to battery chargers, wireless charging pads, and USB-C cables sold in the EU. Increased Power Capabilities: The limitation on product power of 250W will be lifted, allowing for more powerful devices to be designed, aligning with sustainability goals.

How does an uninterruptible power supply work?

The uninterruptible power supplies have e.g. an adjustable maximum buffer time to protect the battery and the unit protects the battery from going into a deep discharge. Draining the battery all the way down can damage it in a very short period of time, especially if this occurs multiple times.

Which batteries are used in a decentralised UPS system?

Maintenance-free supercaps, long-life and safe LiFePO4 and lithium-ion battery packs, or classic lead-acid batteries are used. Our decentralised UPS systems provide effective protection against power failure, flicker, fluctuation, or voltage dips in DC power supplies.

Does the EU require a Level V power supply?

The EU on the other hand continued to require Level V, but starting in 2013, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission had released a voluntary standard defined in its Code of Conduct on Energy Efficiency of External Power Supplies version 5, often referred to as CoC v5 or just CoC.
