I got 2 but planning to run only 1 in my apartment.

Well, I am planning to use the APW3++. It says that it wont provide more than 1200 W if ran from 110 V. My initial plan was to use one of the GFCI (https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFCI) from the bathroom or kitchen since they have desicated 15 A breakers. But of APW3++ cant give the A3 more than 1200 W, theb I am SOL, right? That is when I started researching about using dryer plug.

Why do you think a sungle A3 should be fine to run from a 15A 120 V if the AWP3++ cant do well on 120 V? Sad

If it will work, i will just use the GFCI

Keep in mind, electric in the USA is 120v, not 110v (1440W usable continuous on 15A).

I was running 2x vega 56s, 1x vega 64, and a L3+ overclocked (920W at the kill-a-watt using APW3++) on the same 15A 120v circuit. The breaker only tripped when my wife turned on the hair dryer.

Oh ya, My TV, laptop, and stereo amplifier are also on that circuit... So was the christmas tree over the holidays..  


I see what you're saying, at 120V the APW3++ would only put out 103A DC (1236W).

If you just need to host the one, just get the adapter.
