3.2.4.   Power Limit / Hazardous Energy Levels 
Under normal or overload conditions, no output shall continuously provide 240 VA under 
any conditions of load including output short circuit, per the requirement of UL 1950/CSA 
950 / EN 60950/IEC 950. 
3.2.5.   Efficiency 
3.2.5.1.   General 
The power supply required minimum is 70% efficient under “Full” load, 70% under 
“typical” load, and 60% in a “light” load or idle condition.  The efficiency of the power 
supply should be tested at nominal input voltage of 115VAC input and/or 230VAC input, 
under the load conditions defined in Table 7 and Table 8, and under the temperature and 
operating conditions defined in Section 5.  The loading condition for testing efficiency 
shown in Table 8 represents a fully loaded system, a ~50% (typical) loaded system, and a 
~20% (light) loaded system.
