Inrush current 150 A @ 200–240 V ac (peak
for 1/2 cycle)
100 A @ 120 V ac, 200 A @
240 V ac (peak for 1/2 cycle)
Leakage current 1 mA 8 mA maximum with 12
drive power supplies
installed
Notes:
1. Maximum certified electrical limits for a single frame. Nameplate limits should not be
used to calculate product power or cooling requirements.
2. Models HA1, SC1, S24, and S54 do not connect to external ac power.
Table 44 lists the power consumption of the TS3500 Tape Library models, power
consuming features, and drive canisters.
