Abstract
A power adaptor provides power from a power source to a load device. The power adaptor includes a bulk capacitor and a controller. The controller detects a voltage level of input power from the power source, charges the bulk capacitor, detects a distortion of the voltage level in response to charging the bulk capacitor, and sets an output power limit for the power adaptor from a maximum output power limit for the power adaptor to a reduced output power limit in response to detecting the distortion.
