hmmm.... maybe i should do some homework! i've always just gotten the modules i wanted and installed them where they fit, and have never even looked at power ratings or anything. i have 5 G6 racks (PSU2) and 2 mini-cases and have never seemed to have any problems because of current draw or whatnot, but maybe i've just never noticed, since a lot of my music is in the "abstrct sound/noise collage" category.


in any case, Dieter: your gear always works like a dream!  :-)

I seem to have been running way too much in one of my old 6U cases for more
than a year I noticed...
I have to hand to the maker of http://www.modulargrid.net, it's a great
tool to calculate answers to these kind of questions...

out of curiosity, what is the symptomology you have noticed, i.e. what specifically happens that leads you to think there's a current issue? so i can maybe watch for something similar just in case.

Well to be honest I never noticed a thing. Until I started, for fun, to
build my rig on http://www.modulargrid.net and noticed that I was way over
650mA with one case. So I guess that proves Doepfer's stuff is quite
durable (the case was a Doepfer case holding only Doepfer modules).

For the record: I just reordered all modules so I'm within limits again...

ah, i understand. since all of my cases are the newer 1200mA PSU2 versions, i doubt i'm pushing any limits, since as i said i've never noticed any problems, or suddenly "released the magic smoke" ;-) . one of these days i'll have to play around on modulargrid.net and see what's actually going on with my setup.

The worst thing that might happen will be fuses blowing regularly. That is
a sign.
