Wall-Plug Efficiency

How efficiently a heating or conversion system turns grid power into useful output.

Glossary of Fusion & Plasma TermsUpdated 2026-08-11

Wall-plug efficiency is the ratio of useful output to electrical input for a system — a heating injector or a converter. Low efficiencies inflate recirculating power, so they feed directly into the engineering-gain ledger.
