# What are the power specifications for the MiSeq?

The line voltage for the MiSeq is 100-240 Volts AC at 50/60 Hz. The power consumption on the MiSeq is 400 Watts.

An electrical ground is required to run the instrument. If the voltage fluctuates more than 10% in the lab, a power line regulator is also required.

For more lab environment considerations, see the [MiSeq Site Prep Guide](https://support.illumina.com/downloads/miseq_site_prep_guide_15027615.html).

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/instrumentation/miseq/instrumentation-miseq-faq-list/000007968.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
