    4 Current Requirements Each USW-1P requires approximately 3 A rms @115V (1.5 A rms @230V) for proper operation, allowing up to five USW- 1P to be powered from one 15 A circuit. However, we recom- mend powering no more than three USW-1Ps per 15 A branch to allow a 30% margin for peak voltages. The USW-1P presents a dynamic load to the AC mains which[...]
