Direct Current vs Alternate Current
So what exactly is the problem with powering electronic devices using AC power?
All electronic devices are powered via DC using an AC/DC adapter plug. The only reason we are using AC power is because of our inherited and out of date power grid infrastructures. ELe®’s unique Low Voltage power infrastructures eliminate the waste of AC/DC conversion and can run electronic devices far more efficiently making significant energy cost and carbon emission savings.

The computing performance has also been outstanding – with the lower power requirements and low heat generation, the PCs and screens are clearly working better and we believe will last us much longer.”
Michael Payne“ELe’s energy and cost saving computing equipment fits perfectly with our aim to provide schools with the latest, most innovative technology at an affordable price-point. In addition to lower running costs, ELe computers are extremely high performing and assist schools in meeting their environmental responsibilities. The ELe team are like an extension of our own company. Their support is fast and effective, and with technical backup from the technology developers, we have full confidence when recommending and supplying schools.
“Our new computers are so much more powerful, faster and quieter to use. They run on 10% of the energy of the old systems and require no costly PAT testing – which is amazing!”
