I'm not entirely sure my house is laid out to supply 3600watts over an outlet (though I know zip about electrical engineering, so maybe someone could enlighten me here).
Power, measured in Watts can be expressed as Voltage multiplied by current in Amperes. So, if you know that you will be generating 3600W over a 120VAC (nominal) circuit then you can figure you will be drawing around 30A. That is not an outrageous number of Amps for a home circuit. Typical daisy-chained outlets in a room are supplied through a 15A or 20A breaker at the box. Knowing that you will be drawing at least 30A one would need to wire for likely a 60A breaker with the upgraded wiring to handle that much current. Optionally, one could spread the loads over multiple 15A or 20A circuits which would mean ASIC boxes in every room of the house but no reconfiguration of the wiring and an intimate knowledge of which outlets were on which breakers.
Ah! Good to know, thanks for that.
Thankfully I didn't order 9 Avalons, or else I might be in an interesting electrical situation haha.
Dude,
You are already in interesting BTC situation. I assume that you are BFL BTC paying customer. So if you want a refund now you will loose about 80% of your initial investment (because of BTC exchange rate and no full BTC refund). Correct? I guess yes. You have no other option expect to wait. Right? For how long - only good knows and of course i forgot Josh also. Imagine that he got flat tire wile trawling to the fab it will be national disaster i guess. And for sure it will cost a week or two of additional delay.
And the electrical disaster is much more profitable now. And will be.
Tell you the truth i feel that BFL and BTCFPGA are no different they all depend on China because they do not have the skills and knowledge to make it. And more over both companies are/were(BTCFPGA) willing to to deliver with honesty - no sarcasm here, but they just got fucked up by their partners. No matter how good you are in business the Chinese borders got the technology, they take you 100% money upfront and make you wait as long as tey want. It is not uncommon at all. That is what exactly happening here. Tom played wrong made a couple of promises and he is history. BFL is still here and for sure they will deliver some day. but it will be after CNY for sure and long after electrical disaster which has to be history by then:)
