Power Consumption

Let's now check on how much power the KD22 needs in sleep, idle, and during heavy throughput.

We use a GW Instek GPM-8212 power analyzer for all power-consumption measurements.

Sleep, Idle and Load

The KD22 consumes very little power because it utilizes incredibly energy efficient hardware. With 22 W under heavy network throughput, you can easily have it operating around the clock without increasing your electricity bill.

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, it should be below 0.5 W.



Phantom power is very low and easily meets the ErP Lot 6 2013 requirements.
