Maximum outdoor power supply output power

A power supply unit converts AC power from an energy source into DC power required for various applications. The components it can power depend on its maximum rating, typically measured in watts. It indicates how much energy a PSU can deliver to its connected parts.

Some power supplies also have an amperage rating, indicating the maximum current the power supply can provide at a given voltage. You can calculate the max output rating by multiplying the amperage by the voltage. Rated power output is the continuous output power of the PSU under the rated output and current.

The bottom line is that the maximum power is a little more than 70 watts, much more than the 40 watt power supply from Philips Hue should be able to withstand. But with a measuring device I was able to make interesting findings. The outdoor power supply seems to have enough reserves.

No-load power consumption is the power consumed when this is plugged into a power outlet but not connected to a device. Voltage converters, uninterruptible power supplies, battery chargers, halogen lighting converters and external power supplies for medical devices are excluded from these requirements.

From April 2020, Regulation (EC) 278/2009 was replaced by Regulation (EU) 2019/1782. The rules apply to both the active efficiency and the no-load power consumption. Active efficiency is the average efficiency when a power supply is connected to a device, for example a laptop, when it is being used.
