You almost need a dedicated 15-amp circuit to run this or have 20-amp circuits so you have some overhead for the rest of your electronics (or a cubicle neighbor).
The power supply draws 1280W. A 15-amp circuit provides 1800W, but you are really supposed to keep steady loads at no more than 80%, which is 1440W. I bet some circuit breakers are going to start tripping when these go live.
- jjtheblunt 7y agoDoesn't the power supply draw that at max load, rather than consistently? (Honest question)
- npunt 7y agoCorrect, that's just the max draw it can handle. Most configurations will probably draw no more than ~500-600w.
