[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) What about the rest of the computer though? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) 3840W per breaker. Minus 2400 leaves 1440W, for a CPU, the minor components, and monitors/other equipment. In theory it could work. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) You would still need to run the computer off multiple plugs, as almost any 240v plug is 10a. You'd likely need a dedicated breaker and plug, similar to a stove plug. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago Here, plugs are 230V and 16A = 3680W. Not quite as much as I thought (most extension cords seem to be rated for a bit more, which makes sense), but definitely enough to run monitors of the same breaker. permalink fedilink source parent [–] wewbull@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago All UK plugs are 13A. permalink fedilink source parent
