MEPS Levels7 `. x7 U- W* {
Energy performance requirements include the average efficiency (measured at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of rated output power) and consumption at no load. To meet MEPS, a power supply must meet or exceed the requirements for average efficiency, and meet or be lower than the no load thresholds, when tested according to AS/NZS 4665.1.
