Greg, not to throw too big a topic swerve in here.  I would say that your skepticism is understandable, but for the record, we use 12 Turbosound Flex array per side for large scale outdoor rock shows.  This is a double 10"/6.5"/1" line array box.  While 15,0000 it's pretty much it's limit, it handles that without undue stress or complaint.  I have yet to have an engineer complain that he didn't have enough gas.

Steve, I know you're just speaking to his generalizing, but the Turbos are in a whole different league than the boxes the OP is asking about.

Hello,

Cannot seem to find any info in the spec sheet etc. The configuration states a 32amp drop per 6 boxes, I would presume this to be for 110v.

Could anyone confirm what the current draw is @ 220-240 ?

Tx a ton!

Nitin,
The spec sheet indicates up to 16 HDL20-A can be "daisy chained" using a 15A fuse for 230 volt use and a 30A fuse for 115 volt.

Peak current draw for 18 x 700 watts (obviously the amps are not 100% efficient, but for this quick calculation, we'll assume they are) would be 52 amps at 240V or 105 amps at 120V. Average current draw probably would be anywhere from 1/10 to 1/3 of that depending on program material.

Thanks a ton Art! That is very useful.

It is very strange that the spec sheet I have downloaded to does not have the details you posted.

Best Regards,

I also found it strange that the spec sheet just specified Powercon connections, it took me a while to realize they must use Powercon 32, not Powercon 20 amp connections.
