8.5 Current Draw and Thermal Dissipation specifications
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).

*3) Figures measured at maximum power before amplifier protection and limiter features are engaged. Typically this is between 1/4 and 1/3 of rated power. 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
in excess of max. ratings.

*1) The amplifier's PSU operates as a non-resistive load, so the calculation "Volts x Amps = Watts" would not be correct. Instead, measured and specified here
is what is known as the "Active Power" of the amplifier providing useful, real-world values of power consumption and heat dissipation.
*2) Current draw figures measured at 230 V. 115 V figures are 230 V figures multiplied by two.
