The Order Application:
From the order application submitted by the manufacturer, we use the following in the report:

• Product Information: Used to determine what voltage the PSU is to be tested at.
• Brand Name: The name used in the report as the “Manufacturer” name.
• Model Name: The name used in the report for the “Model Number” name.
• Form Factor: The description used to identify the “Type” topology of the PSU in the report.
• Wattage: The value is used in the report as the rated output power. However, it is not used as the rated wattage of the power supply when determining the loading guidelines. The power supply label will determine this value.

The Power Supply Label:
From the power supply label itself, we extract the following information for testing:

• Input-rated Specifications Ratings: These include the voltage, current, and frequency ratings that the power supply can safely handle and operate.
• Serial Number: A unique identifier for the power supply, used for tracking and record-keeping purposes
• Output Voltage, Current, and Power Rating: These ratings specify the power supply's performance on the output side. This information is crucial for determining the actual output voltage, max current, and rated wattage of the power supply and is used to calculate the loading guidelines of the power supply.

Note: Max DC Wattage or Peak Wattage is not used as the rated wattage of the power supply. The power supply should clearly display what the rated wattage of the power supply is on the label.
