depends on the voltage.

If it's the common 230V you'll likely never exceed 5A, in reality probably more like 3A.

Thanks guys.

ST - I did see the data sheet last night, although couldn't find the watts to work out the ampage. I thought it might be the 10 amps listed but surely that's quite a lot?

Lightbox - Yes, that's the voltage in my home, can I ask how you worked out the amps or is that a good guess? If it's 5amps tops then that's fine for me.

For a reference a little easier to grasp:

10 amps at 220 = 2200 watts

(This would be the maximum load the amp is pulling from the mains NOT what it's putting out)

Since the Profiler operates at a minimum of 100V and draws a max of 10A, it won't go beyond 1000 Watt. That's a little more than 4A ... thus 5A rounded up at 230V. But you won't ever draw continuous max current. Real world will be more like 3A

12 inch speakers physically can't handle much more than 100W continuous. With the extreme efficiency of a guitar speaker between 100 and 110 dB/W, that puts out between 120 and 130 dB continuous. The amplifier in a powered Kemper also has high efficiency of the order of 70-80% . That means that you will have bleeding ears by the time the Kemper pulls 200W out of the wall, that is 2amps x 100V. The high rating is typically for inrush current to fill the capacitor of the internal power supply, That lasts for less than 100 milliseconds and won't trip any fuse.

That's 0.5 Amps for unpowered.

I have a powered rack on a 20A / 120V circuit, and have large TV, Gaming Computer, Gaming Comp Monitor, Laser Printer, Powered Monitors, and a Powered Subwoofer on along with the rack. My lights never flicker. They only go off when temps in Texas go to Zero,
