The calculation of the currents is described in detail on the FAQ page of our website:

www.doepfer.com > FAQ > A-100 > Current specifications of A-100 modules and power supplies


We are about to specify the currents for +12V and -12V for each module separately (also it's not necessary when the A-100PSU2 or an
original A-100 case is used).
