PI (Power Integrations) launch two microsites, one for utility and smart meters and another for no-load, ultra-low standby and remote-off mode power supplies. Utility/Smart Meters The new Smart Meters Microsite(http://www.powerint.com/en/applications/utility/power-meters) focuses on energy-efficient power supply solutions for utility meters used in smart-grid energy networks. Smart-grid technology requires a reliable, high-efficiency power supply for supporting the networking and control electronics. The new Utility/Smart Meters microsite delivers several power supply solutions that are ideal for the next generation of smart meters. No-Load, Ultra-Low Standby and Remote-Off Mode The new Ultra-low Standby Microsite (http://www.powerint.com/applications/ultra-low-standby) describes power solutions optimized to meet market requirements for ultra-low standby and no-load consumption. The page provides real performance data, enabling the user to determine performance against their actual requirements rather than industry standards. The page gives power consumption and efficiency figures from zero to full load.
