MSI MAG A1000GLS PCIE5 ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Hold Up Time

The hold-up time is higher than 17 ms, and the power OK signal is accurate.

Inrush Current

The inrush currents are too low to measure and take into account. This is a good thing, of course!

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 higher than the average, but still way below the 3.5 mA limit.

Timings

The PSU supports Alternative Low Power Modes.
