Power Consumption
Let's now check on how much power the TS-421 needs in sleep, idle, and heavy throughput.
We use a GW Instek GPM-8212 power analyzer for all power consumption measurements.
Sleep, Idle and Load
Power Consumption in Standby Mode
Vampire power or phantom load is the amount of power a device consumes when it is switched off but left plugged into the power grid. According to the ErP Lot 6 2013 directive, it should be below 0.5 W.
