Power Supply amps current draw rating

2006-11-29 by Arman

Hello!

 I'm new to the A100 and electroncs, my question(s) is about the PSUII
power supply. What is the wattage? The Doepfer website states that the
PSUII "has a max. current of 1200 mA for both +12V and -12V"...

Does this mean it is safely capable of driving:

A)  +12 @ 1200mA  and  -12 @ 1200mA

B)  +12 @ 600mA  and  -12 @ 600mA 
(the current divided across the rails)

C) some other combo of currents?

I keep reading about blown fuses and VCOs becoming unstable as you
start to max out the available current.

Do the modules use power evenly? or does usage of positive and
negative supply change, say, while an LFO swings from positive to
negative?

Thanks!
Arman
