Any device with an external power supply or (wallpack), remote control, or clock display requires standby power. Literally every electronic product that plugs into the wall such as TVs, VCRs, DVDs, washing machines, cell phone chargers, night lights, cordless and feature phones, refrigerators, cable TV decoders, satellite TV decoders, radios, computers, printers, monitors, fax machines, copiers, modems, audio amplifiers, industrial control units, motor controls, etc. etc. It is estimated that there are approximately 3 to 4 billion AC to DC power supplies world wide every year.
