How the Samsung Chromebook Pro Supports USB Power Delivery with Its Own 30W Type-C Charger

The Samsung Chromebook Pro uses USB Power Delivery 2.0 technology to rapidly charge with its own shipped 30 watts based power adapter through the USB Type-C connector which we observed below.

Upon plugin to the Samsung 30W USB Type-C PD AC Adapter, the Samsung Chromebook Pro while on a fully depleted battery initially pulled quick changing current between .5-3 amps to briefly draw at most 15 watts (5 volts @ 3 amps) from the charger. After the voltage increased from 5 volts to a 15 volts rail, the current eventually settled out resulting in around 30 watts (15 volts @ 2 amps) of constant charging.

The Samsung Chromebook Pro performs well with its own 30W charger to be able to max out charging in just under 10 seconds from first plugin.
