Power Consumption
Let's now check how much power the KD20 needs in sleep- and idle mode, and during 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 that a device consumes when it is switched off while still plugged into the power grid. This value should, according to the ErP Lot 6 2013 directive, be below 0.5 W.
