Product Environmental Profile - PEP
Product overview
Step-down transformers are used to convert a higher input voltage (208-200 V) to a lower output voltage
(120-100 V). They are used to correct incoming voltage to the output voltage necessary for the data center
application.
The product range consists of a number of products that convert various input voltages to output voltages.
Product has been designed to manage the most common conversions found in the APC product lines.
The products consist of a (1) transformer, (2) bezel kit, (3) rail kit (for attaching into a rack) and (4) product
literature. The transformer consists of a metal housing that contains the large transformer, power cord,
output outlets and wire harnesses connecting the various components.
The representative product used for the analysis is the AP9626 Step-Down Transformer RM 2U 208V IN
120V OUT; w/5-20 Receptacles.
The environmental impacts of this referenced product are representative of the impacts of the other
products of the range which are developed with a similar technology.
The environmental analysis was performed in conformity with ISO 14040.
