The average efficiency and power factor in five ranges of load. Calculated from the 1569 (115V) and 1569 (230V) load combinations of the certification sweep, the same data that ETA and LAMBDA use (test 0 excluded). Load is the total DC output as a share of the rated 1000 W. These are plain averages of the valid readings, as for the ETA rating, so the ranges combined give back the published averages.

The average noise in five ranges of load, the share of points with the fan stopped (semi-passive operation), and the High-Load Index: the same figures for all points at 70 % of the rated output and above. Calculated from the 1569 (115V) and 1569 (230V) load combinations of the certification sweep, the same data that ETA and LAMBDA use (test 0 excluded). Load is the total DC output as a share of the rated 1000 W. Noise is averaged on the energy scale, as for LAMBDA, so the ranges combined give back the published average noise. Each load combination is held for about five seconds; the stabilized readings at fixed loads are under "Noise under high ambient temperature".

Fan speed, noise and the measured intake temperature at 10, 20, 50 and 100 % load, from the two load regulation tests: at normal ambient (about 30-32 °C) and at high ambient (about 40-47 °C). These are stabilized readings at fixed loads, not averages over the certification sweep, so they are indicative of how the fan behaves when it is hot. "<6.0" is the floor of our sound meter: the fan is stopped or too quiet to measure (the fan speed column says which); with the fan stopped, the intake sensor can read higher than the chamber air.

F.1 General Statement
Measurement uncertainty associated with the reported results was evaluated and estimated in accordance with JCGM 100:2008 (Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement — GUM) and ISO/IEC 17025:2017, Clauses 7.6 and 7.2.
The uncertainty budget accounts for all significant identified contributors arising from the measurement process, instrumentation, test conditions, and operator interaction.
The reported expanded uncertainty U is obtained by multiplying the combined standard uncertainty uc by a coverage factor k = 2, corresponding to a confidence level of approximately 95 %, assuming a normal probability distribution.
Unless otherwise stated, the reported uncertainty applies only to the specific measurements performed and does not include long-term drift, aging effects, or future environmental changes.

| Power Excursions (Transient Response) | ±0.18V |
