Power Consumption
Let us now check on just how much power the TS-453B needs in sleep, idle, and during heavy throughput.
We use a GW Instek GPM-8212 power analyzer for all our 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 still plugged into the power grid. According to the ErP Lot 6 2013 directive, vampire power should be below 0.5 W.
