Power consumption

From Wiki

Some consumption measurements of a working RapMan. Motor current pot's are set exactly to what manual stated (TPE=1.1V, TPZ=1.3V, TPX=1.0V, TPY=1.0V). The heater wire was (after the ferules and mounting and) between 3R9 and 4R1. Z backlash spring was not cut.

main menu (after power on) - xyz motors free: 0.4A

manual mode (all motors stopped): 1.4A
manual mode (X moving): 1.4-1.5A
manual mode (Y moving): 1.4-1.5A
manual mode (X+Y moving): 1.4-1.6A
manual mode (Z moving down): 1.5A
manual mode (Z moving up): 1.6A

main menu (return from manual mode) - motors blocked: 1.4A

tool mode (xyz motors blocked) all at 0: 1.4A
tool mode (xyz motors blocked, heater on, extruder motor off) from 25 to 240C same usege: 3.5-3.6A
tool mode (xyz motors blocked, heater on 230C, extruder motor on 40RPM): 4A

tool mode (xyz motors not blocked) all at 0: 0.4A
tool mode (xyz motors not blocked, heater on, extruder motor off) from 25 to 240C same usege: 2.5A
tool mode (xyz motors not blocked, heater on 230C, extruder motor on 40RPM): 3A

printing - HOME : 1.5-2A
printing - HEATING: 3.5A
printing - 1st layer: 4A

Note: After going to manual mode motor's are "blocked" (meaning you cannot freely turn them as they are energized). Going then to tool mode leaves motors in that state. If you after reset, go to tool mode directly, the XYZ motors will stay free.
