Three-phase
Power supply regulations, requirements, and standards
Regulatory standards cover safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and efficiency. Safety and EMC standards are relatively straightforward, and their numbers are limited. Efficiency is a different matter: Society’s drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions results in increasingly sophisticated energy efficiency standards for all types of power converters. It started with relatively simple ENERGY STAR standards […]
