[CA11] Type 2 Rotary Drive Current/Amps
The only specs I can find on the current draw for the rotary drives show that the Type 2 uses between 60 and 84 watts.
A quick calculation shows that at 12 volts, the drive unit will draw 5-7 Amps. But, and this is where my confusion comes in, the chart shows that you need the ACU-400 for the Type 2 rotary drive. Why? Specifically, why the ACU-400 instead of the ACU-200? The ACU-200 specs say that it can power a drive unit up to 15 Amps continuous, which, if the specs on the Type 2 Rotary Drive are to be believed, is more than double the amount of current that the drive unit will draw. The ACU-400, with a 30 Amps continuous rating seems like absolute overkill for a drive unit that supposedly only draws a maximum of 7 amps. Can someone tell me what I'm missing here? |
