INPUT POWER 220-240VAC 60HZ
Explanation: input power rating for the electrical supply (input voltage and frequency)
I found the following translations and read former answers here:
- ingangsvermogen
- ingaand vermogen
- ingangsspanning
Which translation is the best in this context?
If it should be 'ingangsspanning', why don't they use 'input voltage"?

ingangsspanning
Het woord power heeft veel te veel betekenissen, en zelfs de moedertaalsprekers raken daarbij de weg wel eens kwijt. Het gaat om VAC, dus moet het hier spanning zijn.

voeding
Het woord “power” wordt veel gebruikt om het algemene begrip “voeding” mee aan te duiden. In dit geval specificeert het zowel de waarde, de soort en de frequentie van de voedingsspanning. Daarom is de vertaling “ingangsspanning” minder geschikt. Eventueel zou je er nog “elektrische voeding” van kunnen maken.
