“The stuff can take power – though you have closed by the”

“So you should do not to get for the high cost of the electrical appliance”

“This is the tab that many miss.nDina electrical appliances at home can cost extra money – despite the fact that they are turned off.the n– To the is equipped with the switch means, unfortunately, not that they don’t draw power, ” says Martijn Jansen on the Swedish Energy agency’s Testlab.”

“Many electrical appliances at home, can stand and draw power unnecessarily, even if they are turned off. Kitchen fan hoods, microwave ovens, coffee makers, tvs, game consoles, dvd players, home phones, mobile phone chargers, and computers, are just a few examples.n While washing machines and microwave ovens are equipped with displays that need electricity, for example, the televisions always have to be standby to be able to receive signals from the remote control. It’s the same thing with the laptops, they have batteries that draw power to charge when the computer is on, ” says Martijn Jansen.”

“‘ Old appliances, drag the””

“Some of the apparatus is thus not possible to switch off completely – if you do not pull out the cord. The other trick is to get a timer, or to connect a power strip with an off switch. n– Often depends on the strömåtgången in the standby mode of bad design. How much the devices draw varies, but in general, they tend to consume more the older they are.”

“A tip is to get a meter reading””

“Here are some values from the Swedish Energy agency’s tests. However, these tests are relatively new, and older devices can, according to Martijn Jansen, draw more than as follows:n✓ game Consoles in standby mode of 0.1-2 wattn✓ Tvs in standby mode of 0.1-3 wattn✓ Tv set-top boxes in the standby mode, 4-14 wattn✓ Appliances (turned off) 0-1 wattn✓ Laddareu002FAdaptrar (off) 0-3 wattnInom the EU made attempts to reduce the standby power consumption via a number of different Ecodesign regulations. For most of the new products are, for example, a requirement that the power consumption in standby-mode shall not exceed 0.5 watt or 1 watt if they have the display.n – an Additional tip is to get a meter reading. Then you can check out how much the various appliances at home pulls, however, one should be aware that not all of the simpler meters are measuring the right.”
