Careful what you wish for. I have played with those over the years at home and they draw
about 6 amps doing nothing and more when they are. The wheel on the power meter goes into
warp drive when you turn one of those on. I can't imagine leaving one on 24/7 if I was
paying the power bill. Either way, 6A is more than my entire rack consumes
(at 110v) when
fully armed and operational, though I assume that will change when
I get my new RL02 running.
Not by much. Once spun up, they only pull ~130W or so.
