Do these draw what is needed or their rated capacity. That is, does this always pull 650 or up to 650 when needed? thanks

They will only draw what is needed to run the computer and because they are 80+ gold rated they are extremely efficient compared to other power supplies. I have an RM850 in my system that it hooked up to watt meter on the wall outlet and at idle the computer only uses 45watts from the wall outlet.

It only draws what is needed. If it drew it maximum power all the time regardless of the load, it would be a pretty bad power supply.

I found the spec sheet. It calls for a 650cca with 130 minutes reserve capacity minimum.

From my experience it pulls less than 3A. Very very minimal. I have a 10A fuse that runs my CB and this unit with no problems, and the total draw on that fuse is 6.2A, and I know the CB radio is approx 3-4A.

600w minimum, but the draw is around 275. So if you ever want to run dual cards youd want to look at 850 and up.

I have ganged two of these 30A supplies together in parallel to provide 60A. I did this using two high-current diodes to prevent one supply from pushing current into the other (because the two supplies will have slightly different voltage settings. You can up regulate the voltage settings on the supplies to offset the 0.6V drop across the diodes. This works fine for me; I usually draw a total of about 55 amps from the pair, but in initial testing they did produce 60 amps. I did not run them at 60Amps for very long however. Garrett Odell

I run a 700 watt supply. It is more than adequate. A 320 should be enough. I use an extra fan hence extra power. The card is awesome. Updates regularly highly recommend.

hiThis type of card has a low consumption approximately 150W , I think with that source will not have problems. I have a 500w and have not had problems with that card.

Check the power rating on the spec sheet. I've got a 650watt and its been fine.

I suggest reviewing the manual and contacting the manufacturer. Are you actually drawing any load? You have to have a load connected to see any amp draw. Thanks.

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...

Its 100A max input which would point toward 6gauge if you want to provide full current capacity. I however used 8guage as I'm only pulling maybe 60A max.

The capacity seems good, I use them for a garage opener. I had them tested for capacity at Batteries Plus and they said they were full to capacity. If you have any other questions I suggest you contact the seller.

I'm fairly certain you cannot put these in a series, but 5 of them only draws 3 amps (0.6 amps draw per strip) I have 2 green ones on my ranger bass boat for night fishing running off of a 12v 9 amp battery and I get about 8.5hrs run time. I also have 2 in my shop that run off a deep cycle marine battery that I get about 100hrs run time from. I hope this helps some

The unit only pulls 100 amps when you in essence create a short circuit across the battery terminals through a big power resistor. You should not hold the short for more than 10 seconds. If the needle stays in the green during that period you have a good Automotive battery which is often called upon during an engine start to pull 300 to 450 amps. I have found it to show useful information on several types of 12v batteries, but I am not sure that it was designed for a deep cycle battery. It did find deep cycle batteries that dropped into the yellow from the green, and they were older batteries. I would try to contact the manufacturer for more engineering data. Hope this helps.

Hi More than enough if I counted my fingers correctly (ha ha) those two should draw less than 5 amps together(4.7 amps) this power supply will more than run the lights. You picked a good choice! I have one, love it!Oh! I almost forgot make sure you are using #14 gauge multi strand wire with an inline fuse holder with a 5 amp fuse it it blows go to 7 amp fuse.

To compensate for the inrush current, it is recommended to use a power supply that handles peak current at 12 amps or higher. After each start, the motor should draw around 5-6 amps at its rated torque, the lower the torque, the less the current draw. If you notice the motor draws beyond 6 amps when it is running, you are overloading the motor. Torque is proportional to current.

Not too sure what amps it draws but I think it would be more than 2 amps when under load Cheers Al.
