] USB connector is designed to feed power up to 100 mA 5V ] power to the devices connected to it. The power is fed ] though Vbus and GND pins. The host USB pert can supply up ] to 500 mA at voltage at least 4.75 V (for the HUB to be ] able to power 4 port HUB which can supply up 100 mA at ] voltage of at least 4.40V). The USB port does not need to ] supply more than 100 mA unless the device connected to it ] requests more current. UL overcurrent-prevention ] requirement says that no USB port ever pass more than 5A ] onto any port (short circuit protection to avoid damage ] to equipments and wiring). Reference to myself: Check effect on other USB devices when sourcing ~2A. Power circuits from PC componenets |
