Power switch almost always cuts power closest to the main power inlet usually just after the main fuse. This is the same as pulling the plug and any spikes that may happen from pulling the plug would occur from a switch. If the power switch is further behind components such as a transformer you will be consuming power plus in the case of a transformer you WANT to switch the power before the transformer to use the transformer as a slow start.
Requiring 0W standby mode IMHO is plain dumb, because what will happen is people will just not turn the device off because the penalty to turn it on is too high. People who are concerned about consumption can easily obtain that goal by adding a switch to your device such as a switch extension cord. Now encouraging companies to reduce their standby consumption in order to get a "GREEN" tag is IMHO a better way to handle the situation. As for devices with power bricks like the SB3 even if you had a power switch ON the SB3 it would still consume power in the power brick itself and you would need to switch or unplug the power brick. Even if you unplug the brick from the SB3 but still leave the brick plugged in you will consume power. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72685 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
