TomWIC Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi all, A while ago I got a Behringer Powerlight for my rack - mainly because I wanted a decent racklight. But I've just started it using it to power my amp as well and I'm wondering how much I can actually power off the distributor. According to the manual, it can handle a maximum load of 8A across ALL of the eight outlets before the circuit breaker kicks in and powers everything down, so my question is, how much power is my Peavey Tour 700 drawing from it? The Peavey is fitted with a 6.3A fuse, but I should think it's not actually using that amount of ampere? On the other end of the scale, I read a review for it before buying from a guy who was using a few of them to power an entire studio worth of rack equipment, which makes me think it's plenty capable. Any ideas? As I'd like to know I can still use the PL2000 when or if I expand my rack setup to keep everything nice and tidy. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 According to the [url=http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/manuals/116555_13555.pdf]manual[/url], the power consumption of the Tour 700 is 1000W. Since Watts = Volts x Amps it is drawing 4.167 amps. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
