8.4 Thermal Characteristics
8.4.1 Efficiency
Efficiency is the ratio of total output power to the input power. It is typically measured at full load and nominal input voltage.
Test
1)Turn on the fan.
2)Set the enable switch SW1 to the appropriate logic enable position (S48SS only).
3)Adjust the input voltage to the desired operation point.
4)Set the Electronic Load to the desired operating point..
5)Read and note the +3.3 output voltage (DVM3) and input voltage (DVM2).
6)Read and note the input and output currents from the DVM1 and the Electronic Load.
