Barracuda 4LP Installation Guide, Rev. B 15
Table 2b. DC power requirements (Amps)
[1] Measured with an average reading DC ammeter. Instanta-
neous +12V current peaks will exceed these values.
[2] A –10% droop is permissible during initial start of the spindle
but must return to ±5% before reaching 7,200 RPM. The
±5% must be maintained after the drive signifies that its
power-up sequence has been completed and that the drive is
able to accept selection by the host initiator.
[3] See the +12V current profile in the
Barracuda 4LP ProductManual
(publication number 77767491).
[4] This condition occurs when the Motor Start option is enabled
and the drive has not yet received a Start Motor command.
