Qualtek fan current spec on label doesn't match datasheet

Welcome to the community.

We get this question all the time, it’s normal for the specs on the label to not match the datasheet. The specs on the label are worst case, like startup current/wattage, vs datasheet which is nominal/ideal conditions.
