Is power consumption normal? I'm confused.

Dear Everyone.

Hi, I develop nrf51822 with DK PCA10028. I have been optimizing the power consumption to some extent. But now I am very confused.

I use S110 softdevice 8.0.0 and have a single uart, but usually leave it in a diable state. And I checked the power consumption of ~30uA. But when I looked at the various documents ( nRF51 Series Reference Manual v3.0, the Softdevice Specification document ) , I checked a lot less. (Approximately 1/10)

I'm already using the power_management() function. I tried other functions __WFI(), __WEF()__SEV()__WEF(), but the results were the same.

Is this(~30uA) a normal value? I know that I can use many different threads to reduce power consumption further, but Can power consumption go down to 6uA in SYSTEM ON MODE?
