I'm in a remote site and generate my own power. what is the power consumption of this unit, both static and when running?

Not much ... but I can't tell you exactly. Its computer probably uses a little all the time. It runs a little fan when it is making heat and for about 10 seconds afterwards. It depends on how much you use it, obviously. On the plus side, it adapts its heat to the temp of incoming water, so you can use solar to preheat and reduce LP consumption. It's a great heater, and while we're on the grid, we produce most of our own electricity "on house" and are very sparing ... and we use TKjrs on all our units.

With 12 hours a day usage, it should be around 1 kw a week or 50 Kw a year. The problem though, is that due to the bad quality of the unit, they turn into permanently "ON" lights after some few weeks of use and the electricity consumption will raise along. I do not recommend anybody to purchase this unit

I believe it writes data to hard drive, so it does not need constant power. I have lost power and unplugged it a few times with no data loss.

I found on the manufactures website it said, 1 kilowatt per 24 hours. That seems like an average and should be the best answer if you're trying to compute operating cost. If you're looking for load on your electrical system that is where I'd have to start guessing, but I couldn't imagine a situation where it was drawing even half a toasters worth of power. Not very scientific but maybe it still helps

Greetings,Great question!Your power consumption will definitely vary depending on the components you install. A good starting point for a basic configuration (65W TDP CPU, A couple of hard drives) will be around 100W. Make sure you check the power requirements of any large components you decide to add (e.g., video card).Best regards,MITXPC

You know HC, I've never really paid any attention to it, but I would bet it depends upon the programs, and such that depends on a certain amount of power; just like the cellphone when you play or use various apps or programs your draining power...Hope this was helpful.

Well I wasn't sure either, so I checked online and so far, all resources agree on 1500 WATTS of power. That said, I've had great service so far with mine, after regular use, the past four years.

thats info is not anywhere. run off standard 12v line, battery, fuse box, or cigarette adapters. Power Consumption : &lt; 8 W

Not too smart, but here goes. Minimal power is consumed during standby. The unit operates on 1 or 2 AA batteries. Can't remember which. The power consumption of 12 volts is determined by the load size. Small load minimal draw. Large load big draw down. I am using mine on 60 watt aerators. They run 5 hours during the day and 8 hours at night. They are powered by 2 100ah batteries on each unit. They charging is done with 150 watts of solar panels. Batteries stay charged and the aerators run when scheduled. Sorry for the long answer that really says nothing.

Basically you push buttons to view present voltage current and watts or power factor and accumulated kWh (energy consumption over time). This article might be helpful: http://greenhomearchitect.com/2013/11/22/weekend-project-where-is-all-my-electricity-really-going/

I haven't noticed an increase on my electric bill and haven't measured electricity usage specifically for this device. It does go into a sleep mode when not in use. When we are going to be gone or won't be using the computers for a while ii usually turn off the power supply for this and the rest of my network peripherals.

This Go Power unit can take 1500 Watts on a constant basis, and surge (briefly) to 3000 watts. I have tested this unit with a large frost free refrigerator, and a small 5CF freezer, connected to a 4 deep cell battery bank. This unit ran flawlessly and even after 36 hours, I still had over 65% battery power left! A good solid unit! I spent a lot of time researching inverters, before I decided on this one. Glad I did.

Expect a power usage between 2W and 2.5W per device. Power usage will be on the high end of that range if you overclock your devices.

Not sure how one could find out power use with everthing elese running in house.

it's 65watts, so it all depends what else you are running. I'd suggest to use a power supply calculator online to figure it out.

Not sure, I am only using about 15 watts in my application. You should be able to figure the power consumption based on the manufacture's specifications using Ohms Law.

I'm not sure, because we use it as a battery backup to our server. The times I've needed it, we've gotten at least 2-3 hours of backup for our server before our electricity came back on.
