One review said it draws 3.5 Amps. The technical details say its 240 volts, 400 watts. It should have been 840 watts. Where is the mistake here?

Voltage is likely incorrect here. US version is for 120 V, 3.5A (see manufacturer web site for details). 240 V versions probably draw less current and have similar power. Other voltage versions are likely to be found on other Amazon sites for countries with other standard voltages.

No 240 watts @12 volts is 20 amps, so it will overheat and fail. I think a 20 amp model is available.

"350 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 18 amps on the +12 volt rail." Taken from the box. Hope this helps!

My background is Electrical Engineering. I have one of these and it's rated at 12V 1300 mA (1.3 Amp) Voltage x Current = Power. So in this case 12 x 1.3 = 15.6 Watts. So, at 6 Volts the available current is 15.6 W / 6 Volt = 2.6 Amp or 2600 mA. So at 6 Volts it should provide up to 2,600 mA, as rated. I wouldn't be afraid to try it at 6 Volts and 1300 mA since that's about 50% of its rated load.

Yes, I replaced my old power supply that failed with this model in my Dimension 8400. I believe it is a 350 watt power supply.

I don't see the wattage written anywhere. On the power supply it says it outputs 6.5 DC at 1.5 amps. Best I can do. Hope it helps.

It is only 2 amps. Watts = amps x volts, so you will only end up getting 24 watts out of it. It will work, but it won't power it to its potential.

No, max is supposed to be 2.4 amp per port. Until someone can measure the output, it should be 2.4 amps. The one I got couldn't do 2.4 amps like the description said, I suspect it was less than 1 amp per port.

I don't have the unit but I can tell you there is NO WAY it can be rated at 3000W. 3000W at 115Volts (Std. US voltage) results in a current draw of 26Amps, that current would trip any household 115V outlet breaker. Its marketing crapola. Don't be fooled.

The spec just means it is rated at 15 amps, but the total wattage cannot exceed 500 watts, which is about 4 amps. They are just saying it is overbuilt.

Volts x Amps= watts so watts divided by voltage = amps. 80/12=6.66 amps. It certainly draws quite a bit more during startup.

My BD200MTB indicates it at 2.0 amps not 2.5 amps. Assuming power factor of 1.0 at 120 volts, at 2.0amps Wattage = amps X voltage = 240W. At 2.5 amps: wattage = 300 W

The device sheet specifies that it can handle 10 Amps or 2500 Watts. (You can assume the power strip load is virtually zero.) Just add up the max power drawn by each device you plug into the strip and keep the total under 2500 W.If you only have the current load (@ 120 Volts) divide it by 2 to get the load that appears at 240 V. Keep this current total under 10.

I just looked at the bottom of my Bodum and it says 700 W. This sounds about right and is quite a few watts, but I have never had any problems with overload, of course I use it at work and they have capacity for this amount. If use on 120 V house current, will draw almost 6 amps. My Bodum works well. Hope this answers your questions...

It's rated at 2 Amps but only consumes 150 Watts of power so tha actual steady state draw is probably more like 1.25 Amps.

The supply brick says 0.35 max (amps, presumably). It only puts out 3 A at 5 V, so the actual draw is probably closer to 0.2 A.

It limits. I have a device that pulls to much and it just stays warm, while only drawing max of 6 watts from the wall. I calculated this at 1.17 amp, which is as advertised. Used it a couple days at max (waiting for the 3 amp unit to arrive) and it didn't crap out.
