EarthWatts™ 500 Power Supply (Sonata Designer 500 Model Only) Sonata Designer 500 comes with a 500 Watt EarthWatts PSU which is built to be compatible with the ATX12V version 2.2 specification. This PSU is very efficient, which reduces power consumption by up to 25% and saves you money on your electricity bill. EarthWatts power supplies have achieved 80 PLUS® Certification, the latest independent standard in PSU efficiency. In addition EarthWatts includes a variety of protective circuitry: OPP (over power protection), OVP (Over Voltage Protection), and SCP (Short Circuit Protection).
EarthWatts also includes Universal Input with Active Power Factor Correction (PFC). Universal Input allows you to connect your Antec EarthWatts PSU to any AC power outlet between 100~240V without having to worry about setting a voltage switch. Active PFC reduces electrical waste by improving the power factor value to the PSU, helping the power plant to provide power to users more efficiently.
