Energy Independence and Security Act Requirements – July 1st, 2008
Recently, the U.S. government passed the Energy Independence and Security Act (Public Law 110-140). The purpose of the regulation, in part, is "to move the United States toward greater energy independence and security, to increase the production of clean renewable fuels, to protect consumers, to increase the efficiency of products, buildings, and vehicles…" As a result, external power supplies (transformers) manufactured on or after July 1st, 2008 must meet increased environmental efficiency standards – Level 4 efficiency. Please refer to SEC. 301.
