Conversion Efficiency Test
Power supplies are often kept plugged in for a long period. Even if the device is idle, the accumulated consumption during no-load operation becomes a hidden cost. No-load test is to verify the long-term power economy in such scenarios.
The no-load power consumption is only 0.21W at 220V 50Hz, translated to annual loss of approximate 1.84kW・h. If count it with the price of 0.6 yuan/ kW・h, the annual electricity cost of single device is about 1.1 yuan. At 110V 60Hz, the no-load power consumption further drops to 0.154W, with an annual loss of approximate 1.35kW・h, corresponding to an electricity cost of only 0.81 yuan.
Conversion Efficiency Test
Essentially, a charger is a conversion device and there will be some losses during the process which is dissipated in the form of heat. The input power tends to be greater than the charger’s printed power. Next, we’ll test the conversion efficiency of TALIX Zeta 240W PD3.2 charger at 220V 50Hz and at 110V 60Hz.
First, overall conversion efficiency at 220V 50Hz is from 80.04-95.39%.The highest conversion efficiency reaches 94.36% in 48V 5A. The lowest conversion efficiency is 81.34% in 5V 3A.
Overall, the TALIX Zeta 240W PD3.2 charger’s conversion efficiency across both voltage is the first class among other charger on the market. At 28V, 36V, 48V, it can reach above 93% conversion.
Ripple Test
First, let’s check out the result without load.
Under 220V50Hz condition, the highest ripple is 112mVp-p at 36V0A; the lowest ripple is 80mVp-p at 5V0A.
Under 110V60Hz condition, the highest ripple is 96mVp-p at 5V0A; the lowest ripple is 76mVp-p at 20V0A and 48V0A.
Next, there is the result with load.
Under 220V50Hz condition, the highest ripple is 108mVp-p at 5V3A and 48V5A; the lowest ripple is 20mVp-p at 20V5A.
Under 110V60Hz condition, the highest ripple is 112mVp-p at 5V3A; the lowest ripple is 44mVp-p at 20V5A.
Overall, the ripple is relatively stable under both voltage types. Most of the ripple are from 70-90mVp-p(with load). The actual ripple performance conforms to power supply ripple standard GB/T 20943-2025, meeting the stable power supply requirement of high-class electronic components.
Temperature Test
Temperature is a core indicator for evaluating the overall performance and safety of a charger. When high-power chargers operate with high loads, the power conversion will generate some heat. Poor dissipation can not only make it too hot to hold, but may also trigger the overheat protection, and even accelerate the aging with potential problems.
Then, we’re going to test TALIX Zeta 240W charger’s temperature control at 140W under 110V/60Hz and 220V/50Hz conditions.
The result directly reflects the rationality of the heat dissipation, which is also a key evidence to judge if it could operate stably for a long time.
One hour later, the maximum temperature is about 56.3℃ (133.34 ℉) on this side.
The maximum temperature is about 57.2℃ (134.96 ℉) on the other side.
The maximum temperature is about 63.9℃ (147.02 ℉) at 110V60Hz.
The maximum temperature is about 66.0℃ (150.8 ℉) on the other side.
Summarizing the data, the load at 110V60Hz is greater than it at 220V50Hz. Overall, under the 140W high-load condition, the temperature control of TALIX Zeta 240W charger is excellent. The highest temperature is only 57.2℃ at 220V/50Hz. It is kept below 66℃ even at 110V/60Hz.
Its surface temperature is completely lower than the safety threshold (77℃) which is regulated by GB4943.1 and IEC62368 standards. It has a significant output performance and a great heat control, avoiding the overheat problem for a long-term experience.
