Common parameters
Input Range :
For 110V AC current, an input range of 90V 135V
For a 220V current, a range of 180V 270V
MTBF and MTTF :
Mean Time between Failure (MTBF) and Mean Time to
Failure (MTTF) are the two parameters related to the
failure of the power supply
Peak Inrush Current :
Greatest amount of current drawn by the power supply at a given
moment immediately after it is turned on
