HCG-520 POWER SUPPLY
HIGH CURRENT POWER, LOW COST POWER SUPPLY
The HCG-520, part of Antec’s High Current Gamer Series of power supplies, is the perfect combination of power and efficiency. Delivering 520 continuous watts of power, the HCG-520 features a high-power +12V rail and special heavy-duty High Current connectors and cabling that supply extreme levels of power. At the same time, the HCG- 520 delivers superb efficiency thanks to its 80 PLUS® Bronze Certification and Active PFC. Highest-quality gold- plated connectors, Japanese-brand capacitors and quiet 135 mm double ball bearing fans complete the package.
STANDARDS AND FEATURES
The connectors and power specifications of the HCG-520 PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.3 and EPS12V v2.91 specifications. The HCG-520 features Universal Input, which automatically senses when you connect the power supply to any AC power source between 100~240V without 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, helping to power transmission across the grid.
SYSTEM PROTECTION
A variety of industrial-grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: OVP (Over Voltage Protection), SCP (Short Circuit Protection), OPP and OCP (Over Current Protection). Sometimes the PSU will “latch” into a protected state. 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 HCG-520.
80PLUS® CERTIFICATION
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 HCG-520 has been 80 PLUS® Bronze 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.
