Intended for commencement in October 2010, Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) requirements for magnetic isolating transformers and electronic step-down converters will come into force. This comprises units intended for use with extra-low voltage (ELV) lighting, having a rated load up to 500 VA. Efficiency requirements (MEPS levels) are set out in AS/NZS 4879.2. Test procedures are set out AS/NZS 4879.1.
MEPS requires a minimum full load efficiency as specified in the table below.
| Rated Transformer Power | MEPS Level (% efficiency) |
|---|---|
| < 200 VA | > 86% |
| > 200 VA | > 91% |
Find out how to make an application for MEPS.
