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.
