6.4 Current Draw and Thermal Dissipation specications
The following tables contain information on measured current consumption as well as calculated heat dissipa-
tion during normal operation(1/8 rated power); and during extreme heavy duty operation (1/4 rated power).
The following tables contain information on measured current consumption as well as calculated heat dissipation during normal operation

*1) The ampli er’s PSU operates as a non-resistive load, so the calculation “Volts x Amps = Watts” would not be correct. Instead, measured and speci ed here
is what is known as the “Active Power” of the ampli er providing useful, real-world values of power consumption and heat dissipation.
*2) Current draw gures measured at 230 V. 115 V gures are 230 V gures multiplied by two.
*3) Figures measured at maximum sustainable power without tripping the mains fuse. Listed separately for 30 A/115 V and 16 A/230 V operation . Note that
the max. power condition is very extreme and will not occur during normal operation. Also note that the mains breaker will not be tripped even if operation is
momentarily in excess of max. ratings.
*4) Italics used for conditions that, if sustained over long time periods, may trigger the mains breaker. Therefore these measurements should not be used when
calculating cooling requirements as they cannot be sustained by the mains breaker over time.
