Save Electricity!
As a conventional (linear) 1 Amp power supply is typically between just 45% and 35% efficient you will require a mains input of 30 Watts in order to obtain a typical output of 13.6 Watts. This equates to 268 Kilowatt hours of electricity used per year. A Dycon Switch-Mode 1 Amp power supply has a much greater efficiency of more than 80%. This means that, for the same 13.6 Watts output, only 17 Watts input is needed. This equates to only 149 Kilowatt hours per year.  |

Save Money!
The annual saving equates to 119 Kilowatt Hours of electricity per power supply - very nearly the equivalent of having a 3 Kilowatt heater on continuously for a whole 40-hour week! With electricity costing businesses over 10p per kWh, in hard cash terms, you will save £12.00 per year on every existing power supply you replace. |

Save The Planet!
In ecological terms, this could represent a carbon footprint reduction of 62.7 Kg of CO2 emission per year. Remember; this is only for one small power supply. Think of the saving that could be made if all the power supplies in the building were Dycon switch-mode power supplies.
The CO2 emission factor for electricity is taken to be 0.527 kg / kWh.
