Efficiency Graph

INFO

This graph depicts the PSU`s efficiency throughout its entire operational range. For the generation of the efficiency and noise graphs we set our loaders to auto mode through our custom-made software before trying thousands of possible load combinations.

Noise Graph

INFO

The PSU`s noise in its entire operational range and under 30-32 °C ambient is depicted in this graph. The X axis represents the load on the +12V rail(s) while the Y axis is the load on the minor rails.
