The 80 PLUS White certification is the base level in energy efficiency ratings for power supplies, and guarantees an efficiency of at least 80% at different load levels, namely 20%, 50%, and 100% of the load. This means that a power supply certified to the 80 PLUS White standard consumes only 20% of the power taken from the mains as waste heat, while 80% of it remains for actual use.
The 80 PLUS White certification is a good choice for users looking for a low-cost power supply that is sufficient for basic needs or for office devices that do not require high power. Although it is less efficient than advanced certifications such as Bronze and Gold, it guarantees an acceptable level of efficiency, which helps reduce electricity bills slightly compared to non-certified power supplies.
This standard is a suitable economical option for people who want a reliable and efficient power supply to run their daily devices with stable performance at a reasonable cost without the need for the high efficiency levels provided by other certifications.
