    WAV + EB832, power consumption display?

    Is there anyway we can see how much power WAVs are consuming when plugged into EB832?

    No, there is not.

    WAVs draw about 26w at full speed.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    That is unfortunate. If the EB still have the overall power consumption measured (like in old EB) then just a simple subtraction with the outlets power consumption to get accessories usage would be nice. I could just have a killawatt inline but that would be so uncivilized

    Hey rooster, I had the same question. At one point I thought I stumbled across it but couldn't remember how to get back to it but apparently I was mistaken.

    Does their amperage count against the 15 amp max of the EB832, and if so how many should I allocate to each WAV? I'm not sure what power factor to use for them.

    Yes. Their power factor should be near 1 but the power supply built in the eb832 is probably 80-90 percent efficient so I would increase the watts by 25%.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
