In a server power system, a standby converter is required in order to provide the standby output, monitor the system’s status, and communicate with the server power system. Since these functions are always required, losses from the standby converter are produced even though the system operates in normal mode. For these reasons, the losses deteriorate the total efficiency of the system. In this ...

Electric appliances consume electricity when they are in standby mode and sometimes even in off-mode. These "losses" of each appliance individually are not large but the sum over all appliances is no longer negligible. The standby losses of ten households are investigated. The standby power varies from 7 to 134 W and has an average of 40 W. The standby consumption is on average 274 kWh/year, re...
