power consumption

[db3306]

didn't know where to put this as its not that advanced, but how much do you think a 5W full diode rgb laser will need to run with 4 dc fans, 1 ac fan and dt40 pro?
can't measure it at the moment, and im out looking for a car inverter to project on buildings from my car.

Might wanna get a small ups( the inverter charges the ups).

I run my 8W rgb on a 600W pure sinus inverter without any problem. Actually I could even run 3 of them on the same one

I measured its consumption at 60W (idle) and around 200W (full power).

I just measured my Kvant last week with 7 watts, opsl, 6215HP scanners,
it maxed out at 3.5 amps.

at how many volts??

at how many volts??

This was measured at 120 volts.

I think that inverters that are cheap don't make a very good sine wave. That being said for what I understand its mainly a problem if your running drills/grinders of them ( as they turn the movement is a bit jerky).
I don't think this is a problem for dc power supplies. Perhaps it may be an issue for the scanners power supply?
I have thought about doing the same thing and as I already have a ups I would use it as well. Just my $.02

To be more specific, the current draw varied between 2.3 - 3.5 amps at 120 volts, with all color lines and square wave output.
