Peak load is an important aspect to consider, as this defines the set period of time when electricity is required to sustain a device on demand. In terms of power consumption, considering the peak load of a device is particularly important for those industries – like manufacturing – with energy-intensive equipment and operations. Oftentimes, a system or device might need higher power for a very short duration but still be able to operate under a slightly lower power threshold. This way, by using a 200W power supply that can support 300W+ as a peak load, engineers can control the costs associated with investing in more powerful and power-consuming converters. |
