Reliability and measurement notes

Three years, as listed in the manufacturer catalogue. |
Unless otherwise stated, parameters use 230 VAC, rated load, 25°C and 70% RH. DC voltage is set/measured at the plug terminal at 50% load. Ripple/noise uses 20 MHz bandwidth and a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors.
Voltage tolerance includes set-up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load; load regulation is measured over 0–100% rated load. Refer to the full mechanical drawings and manufacturer installation instructions for the selected plug and cable configuration.
