Power consumption for A1 printer

I have purchased an A1 printer in India. Power consumption mentioned in the data sheets is approx 1300W at 220v, and 350w at 110v.

The supply voltage is 230V in India. Can I run the same A1 printer at 110V, so that I can use a Low wattage UPS. Specification sheet says input supply 110V to 220V. I have access to 110V UPS.

The cost of UPS for 1300W is more than the printer cost.

I don’t know about the power in India, but I do run APC-650’s on all of my printers.

whats your operating voltage

In the U.S. it’s 110v.

Why am I getting under 25 characters again.

In the US, I run my A1 mini and P1S on 110v(actually ~124 volts) because that’s what it’s pre-wired for.

In the US our grid is 110v/220v, but in reality 110 outlets will read 120-125v, my UPS bumps on if it drops below 117 volts. 220 outlets typically read ~230-240 volts

At 110V the power consumption is approx. 350Watts. Thats why you can print with the APC650 ups.

Bambu lab connects the heater directly to mains supply. Thats why at 220V they require 1300Watts

So the 110V machine has a less powerful heater on the bed? It must be slower reaching working temperatures.

The US grid is 120/240, FYI. Has been since the early 80s.
