2.2.3.1 Power Calculation Examples
Note: The following formulas assume all system ops as a 1 block read or write transfer from a random cylinder while at nominal voltage condition.
Example 1. Calculate the mean 12 volt average current.
If we assume a case of 30 operations/second then to compute the sum of the 12 volt mean currents the following is done.
| mean |
|
+ 1 2 V D C (idle average) | 0.77 | amps |
+ 1 2 V D C (seek average) 0.0036 * 30 = | 0.11 | amps |
T O T A L | 0.88 | amps |
Example 2. Calculate the mean plus 3 sigma 12 volt average current.
T o compute the sum of the 12 volt mean current's 1 sigma value assume all the distributions are normal.
Therefore the square root of the sum of the squares calculation applies. Assume a case of 30 operations/second.
|
| sigma |
|
+ 1 2 V D C (idle average) | 0.02 | amps | |
+ 1 2 V D C (seek average) sqrt(30*((0.0002)**2))= | 0.001 | amps | |
T O T A L | sqrt((0.02)**2+(.001)**2))=0.02 | amps |
|
So the mean plus 3 sigma mean current is 0.88 + 3*0.02 = 0.94 amps
Example 3. Power Calculation. |
|
Nominal idle drive power = (1.26 | Amps * 5 Volts) + (0.77 Amps * 12 Volts) = 15.54 Watts |
Nominal R / W drive power at 30 | ops/sec = (1.27 Amps * 5 Volts) + (0.88 Amps * 12 Volts) = 16.91 |
Watts |
|
Mean plus 3 sigma drive power for 30 random R / W operations/second. Assume that the 5 volt and 12 volt distributions are independent therefore the square root of the sum of the squares applies.
+ 5 V D C (1 sigma power) | 0.05 * 5 | = | 0.25 watts | |
+ 1 2 V D C (1 sigma power) | 0.03 * 12 | = | 0.36 watts | |
Total (1 sigma power) sqrt((0.25)**2+(0.36)**2) | = | 0.44 watts | ||
Total power | 15.46 + | 3 * 0.44 | = | 16.8 watts |
