be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 550W ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Hold Up Time

The hold-up time is extended, and the power OK signal is accurate.

Inrush Current

Inrush currents are generally low.

Leakage Current

Leakage current refers to the small amount of current that flows through an insulating material or a semiconductor device when it is ideally supposed to be non-conductive. It is typically seen in electronics, such as transistors, capacitors, and insulators, where the current leaks due to imperfections or unintended pathways, even when the device is “off.”

Leakage current in power circuits is an alternating current flowing through the earthing conductor caused mainly by the EMC filter’s Y capacitors (Cy). The more Y capacitors, the higher the leakage current can be!

The IEC 62368-1, which replaces the IEC 60950 OFF (Office Equipment) and IEC 60065 TRON (Electronics, entertainment), defines the limits for maximum leakage (touch) current.

  • Normal Condition: Maximum touch current = 3.5 mA
  • Single Fault Condition: Maximum touch current = 10 mA

The leakage current is low.

Timings

The PSU supports Alternative Low Power Modes.

  1. Are you willing to evaluate the lowest category Be Quiet series as well? Most notably the brand new System Power 11 series? It has 450W and 550W members, and it is the cheapest Be Quiet PSU on the market. A lot of people are buying them, without knowing how dangerous (or safe?) they are, after the System Power 10 test turned out that they are not that terrible, contrary to the tribal knowledge (System Power 10 Bronze series has been downgraded to Tier E on the SPL PSU Tier list).
