Q

Q:When connect HM-638PHM-AC with 120V wire,there will be 1W power consumption even the switch is turned off,what’ the reason?


A:

The Switch controls the low voltage. After AC 120V is connected, the power supply starts operating and thus consumes power. However, the stepped-down low voltage is cut off by the switch, so the main control section has no voltage and cannot function. The 1W power consumption is the energy used by the power supply during operation.
