ABB: New Single-Phase Power Supplies Reduce Harmful CO2 Emissions

ABB launches its new CP-S.1 range of primary switch mode 24 V DC power supplies, combining efficiency and reliability with an unrivalled power-to-space ratio. With an efficiency of up to 94 percent, the CP-S.1 24/40.0 power supply is able to generate a 1.4 ton CO2 saving over a typical lifetime of ten years – compared to a device with 92 percent efficiency. This is equivalent to the same amount of CO2 required to charge 160,000 smartphones.
