This thing could run off a single US outlet (1600W) with some throttling, if I'm not mistaken? Shame it wasn't designed for EU sockets. 230V*16A = 3700W, or do

Shame it wasn't designed for EU sockets. 230V*16A = 3700W, or double that on separate breakers!
- bguebert 2y agoOn their site they say it can run at 220V 15A if you got that. https://docs.tinygrad.org/tinybox/ https://docs.tinygrad.org/tinybox/
- jagrsw 2y agoJust being nitpicky - I'm from the EU, but I think in the US, you can get either: 240V: Split-phase, this gives you 120V between each leg and neutral, and 240V across the two legs. 208V: The interphase in a 3-phase system. Might be still within tolerance of 220V :) HTH, ducking out :)
- georgehotz 2y agoSpecs on website updated, anywhere from 100-240V is fine
- apexalpha 2y ago3200W seems perfect for a EU socket. Seperate breakers aren't really a thing here, at least in my country, usually if you need more power you draw 400V
- Hellolearning 2y agoNo it doesn't. A standard EU Socket is not certified for 24/7 3.2kW. You should max. pull 2.7kW. For everything else you need a blue eu socket or camper socket. I learned this due to my EV which is able to be charged through a normal socket but it regulates it down due to this on purpose and has a temperature sensor build in as well.
- xxpor 2y agoUS circuits are the same way. "Sustained use" (over 3 hours IIRC) has to be de-rated to 80% of max. So an EV can draw 40A on a 50A circuit.
- andersa 2y agoSo if it doesn't use 3.2kW continuously, but varies significantly based on what it's doing (perhaps even idle sometimes) then it's fine?
- Hellolearning 2y agoYes. But you shouldn't risk it if you don't know. A ml job can run for hours or days
- jagrsw 2y agoIs it per spec, or from experience?
- Hellolearning 2y agofrom spec. full load only needs to be supported for up to an hour
