D6 and D12 power consumption and power loss
The power required from the mains supply and the waste heat
produced by the amplifier power loss vary depending on the load
impedance and the signal levels and characteristics (e.g. speech,
music). In practice, the theoretical peak power consumption of a
system will only be sustained for a short period of time. Basing
mains current and air conditioning plant requirements on the
peak power consumption of the sound system would result in a
generously overspecified installation. The key factor in power
consumption calculations is the crest factor of the music or speech
signal - the ratio of peak to sustainable RMS voltage of the
signal. The table below gives power figures for various types of
signal waveforms.
Mains supply
Maximum number of devices per phase conductor when full
output power is required:
In the USA and Japan we recommend the operation over two
phase conductors (phase to phase – 240 /200 V) or the use of
mains leads with a much higher cross section.
