Ricoh Taurus-C1a Technical Bulletin page 131

Model:
Taurus-C1a/C1b (D074/D075)
Subject:
Maximum Power Consumption of Taurus-C1/P1
From:
1st PP Tech Service Sec., PP Tech Service Dep.
Classification:
This RTB has been issued to announce a supplementary explanation for the maximum
power consumption of the Taurus-C1/P1 when configured with its full options.
Purpose
The purpose of this bulletin is to avoid misunderstandings with the description concerning
the maximum power consumption contained in the FSM and the NPLI.
Actual Maximum Power Consumption
With all options installed, the actual power consumption of the Taurus-C1/P1 will not
exceed 3300W, although it is described as "Less than 4000W" in the FSM and the NPLI.
That is, the specification prescribed as 4000W includes a large margin, and the actual
electrical current will not exceed 16A.
Possible Misunderstanding
A possible misunderstanding, for instance, is a calculation as below which results in a
value exceeding 16A, the maximum amperage the power plug could take.
4000W / 220V = 18.18A
However, in reality, this will not happen because the actual maximum power consumption
will remain below 3300W even when configured with all options.
