Yes, you can just drop the "brute", it's typical French redundancy.
At the end of the day the ratio is the power output over the power input.

Note from asker:
| Thank you, Terry Richards but I already have translated "puissance d'entrée" by "input power" |
| I'm sorry for insisting, but do you mean that puissance brute= puissance d'entrée? |
| As I have already translated "puissance d'entrée" by "input power" and "puissance nette" by "output capacity" then what about "input capacity" for "puissance brute"? |
| Thank you Terry Richards |

: That only applies in a power station context, not here, I'm afraid / If in doubt, it often pays, doesn't it? ;-)

As I am not an electrical specialist, I should have given it a lower confidence rating.
