No-load power consumption test

Whether the charger will waste electricity when it is not in use when it is plugged into the socket, and how much power will be lost, is a question in the minds of many readers, and the standby power consumption link is to answer this question. Plug the charger into the socket of the Yokogawa WT310E power meter and read the data on the power meter, and the test results are as follows.
