MAINS OPERATION & RESULTING TEMPERATURE

MAINS OPERATION

The following tables allow determining power supply and cabling requirements. The values of the column „Max. Output @ 4Ω” are relevant for “normal” operation. These values are based on operating the power amplifier with VDE-noise at 1/8 of the maximum output power, which approximately equates the load of the power amplifier being operated with a music signal at maximum volume possible, without noticeable clipping.

RESULTING TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE POWER AMPLIFIER

The power drawn from the mains network is converted into acoustic output power to feed the connected loudspeaker systems & heat. The difference between drawn power and dispensed power is called leakage power or dissipation (Pd). The amount of heat resulting from power dissipation might remain inside of a rack-shelf and needs to be diverted using appropriate measures. The following table provides auxiliary means for calculating the temperatures inside of a rack-shelf system/cabinet and the ventilation efforts necessary.

The column “Pd” lists the leakage power in relation to different operational states. The column “BTU/hr” lists the dispensed heat amount per hour.

P3000RL Normal Mode	UMains [V]	IMains [A]	PMains	Pout [W]	Pd [W]	BTU/hr(3)
			[W]
Idling	230V	1.0	152	-	152	519
Max. Output @ 8Ω(1)	230V	13.8	2560	2 x 850	860	2934
Max. Output @ 4Ω(1)	230V	22.4	4330	2 x 1300	1730	5903
1⁄3 max. Output @ 4Ω(1)	230V	13.9	2575	2 x 433	1709	5831
1⁄8 max. Output @ 4Ω(2)	230V	7.8	1350	2 x 163	1024	3494
Normal Operation (-10dB) @ 4Ω(1)	230V	8.0	1420	2 x 120	1180	4026
Nominal Operation (0dB) @ 4Ω(1)	230V	21.6	4170	2 x 1200	1770	6040
Alarm Operation (-3dB) @ 4Ω(1)	230V	16.0	3020	2 x 610	1800	6142

For approximation; when operating the appliance at 120V mains the stated current values need to be doubled.
