PFC is mandated for domestic goods above 20w here.


** No it isn't.

EN 61000-3-2 set some limits on the levels of harmonic current permitted.

http://www.epsma.org/PFC%20Guide_November%202010.pdf

These limits are sufficiently high that the majority of electronic
devices intended for domestic use meet the standard with no special
correction circuit or device installed.

Silly me, I thought it was obvious I was referring to devices with poor pf.



** FFS dickwad, the regs do not even mention the term "power factor".

Try actually reading them before blowing bull**** out you arse.

PFC is in no way "mandated" .
