i just got the right amount of sockets and the right wiring and trips ( i have 8 trips at 20a each (240v ) puling less than 13a per trip )

how many machines do you have connected to each strip?

would you be kind enough to provide a link to what kind of strips you have?

thanks

just standard plug sockets wired on a ring main just like all other standard plug sockets in the uk

i just brought a load of plug sockets ( wall sockets 4 single plug sockets on each 20a trip ) i pull just over 4Amps per plug but only use 3 plugs on each trip ( 21 rigs at under 1kw each )

have all you guys conciderd the power factor ?

at a power factor of 1 240w at 240v would be 1Amp
at a power factor of 0.5 240w at 240v would be 2Amp ( some older psus dont have powerfactor corection bilt in to them )
