Example 4. Calculate the 12 volt peak current.
To compute the sum of the 12 volt peak currents the following is done.
+ 1 2 V D C (idle avg)
+ 1 2 V D C (seek peak)
TOTAL
Example 5. Calculate the mean plus 3 sigma 12 volt peak current.
To compute the sum of the 12 volt peak current's 1 sigma value assume all distributions are normal. There-
fore the square root of the sum of the squares calculation applies.
+ 1 2 V D C (idle avg)
+ 1 2 V D C (seek peak)
TOTAL sqrt((0.02)**2+(0.02)**2)=0.028 amps
So the mean plus 3 sigma peak current is 2.07 + 3*0.028= 2.1 amps
Things to check when measuring 12 V supply current:
Null the current probe frequently. Be sure to let it warm up.
Adjust the power supply to 12.00 V at the drive terminals.
Use a proper window width, covering an integral number of spindle revolutions.
Measure values at 25 degree C casting temperature.
Get a reliable trigger for Seek Peak readings.
