OLUTION

 

The TruePower New series is Antec’s full featured line of high-quality, reliable power supply units (PSUs). Combining 

cutting-edge  technology  and  an  efficient  design,  the  TruePower  New  series  is  the  ideal  solution  for  elite  system 

builders and quality-minded enthusiasts alike. With +12V rails that are regulated to ±3%, the TruePower New series 

delivers full rated power and tight voltage regulation.

EATURES

 

The  TP-550  PSU  is  compatible  with  ATX12V  v2.3  and  EPS12V  v2.91  specifications.  The  TP-550  features  Universal 

Input, which automatically senses when you connect the power supply to any AC power source between 100~240V 

without  having  to  worry  about  setting  a  voltage  switch.  This  power  supply  also  features  Active  Power  Factor 

Correction (Active PFC), which improves the power factor value of the power supply by altering the input current 

wave shape, which helps power transmission across the grid.

ROTECTION

 

A  variety  of  industrial-grade  safety  circuitry  will  help  protect  your  computer:  OVP  (Over  Voltage  Protection),  SCP 
(Short  Circuit  Protection),  and  OCP  (Over  Current  Protection).  Sometimes  the  PSU  will  “latch”  into  a  protected 
shutdown state. This means that you will need to power off the PSU and clear the fault before it will function again. 
There are no user-replaceable fuses in your TP-550.

ERTIFICATION

 

80 PLUS® certification is the most widely recognized independent standard in power supply efficiency. An 80 PLUS® 
certified  power  supply  uses  less  energy  and  generates  less  heat  to  stay  cooler,  run  quieter  and  last  longer.  The 
TP-550 PSU earns the rare 80 PLUS® Bronze level of efficiency, meaning that it has been certified to be at least 82% 
efficient at a wide range of operating loads; this will lower your operating costs and help protect the environment.
