Description
Electric power supply unit for building-in “GEMBIRD”Remark: Consumers may build personal computers themselves. Instructions how to build your own personal computer are available on the internet. In this case the consumers buy computer components and install e.g. a motherboard, a hard drive, CD/DVD drives and a power supply unit to the computer casing.
Risk
There is a risk of electric shock due to the fact that there is not sufficient electrical insulation in the mains transformer between the primary and the secondary windings. Secondary circuit of a computer is touched when, e.g., connecting peripheral devices such as a printer, a monitor and multimedia speakers and also when touching these peripheral devices. While the electrical insulation in the mains transformer of the power supply unit between the primary and the secondary windings is insufficient, the mains voltage may exist in the secondary circuit in case of a single fault condition. This causes a risk of electric shock. This product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the European Standard EN 60950.
