Leaving my power supply on all the time?

Hummina Shadeeba · Feb 28, 2020

How much power is my fanless 58 volt 9.6 amp meanwell supply using when plugged in to wall but not bike? I thought it would be cool but it’s always warm. I like to leave it plugged in. Has a wattsup wattmeter on end drawing guess maybe .05 amps no?

look up the spec sheet on the meanwell site for your specific model number, and look for standby current / power.

0.75mA / 277VA “leakage current”

0.05A x 110V = 5.5W

A handful of watts is about right to keep an object of that size warm to the touch.

I think leakage current is standby current. Is 277va voltage alternating at 277? And u can do the math to figure at 120?

Sorry here it is
