Hi, does anybody know about papers related to the sustainability of switching power supplies? In my very limited experiences they are seemingly less sustainable than old school power supplies. I'm curious, if any paper does exist related to energy efficiency of usage of a power supply, but also taking into account how much energy is needed to repair or replace those switching thingies and classic stone age power supplies. And apart from energy efficiency, how much other resources are required to produce and maintain different kinds of power supplies? My experiences with modern computer power supplies aren't bad, but my impression about switching power supplies in almost everything and the sustainability of this approach ... voltage undersized caps etc. isn't good. Regards, Ralf
