that depends on the LNB and if there is motor installed or no. LNB output is graded officially that is provides maximum of 450 mA current and can go up to 650 mA unofficially without a risk for burning something. usually, motor maximum consumption is 350 mA and most single LNBs are less than 100 mA and so in that case maximum that the LNB and motor will require is 0.450 A * 18 V = 8.1 W. of course, PCI-Express chip on the card and DVB-S2 tuner and demodulator consumes several Watts too, but roughly i believe in the worse case total consumption is not more than 10-15 W. if you need some exact number i can check datasheets of all chips and sum up their power consumption.
