Title: (Noob) Electricity Questions Post by: syber on March 21, 2014, 10:13:56 AM So right now my current environment is located in a decent size building for offices.
I see that the office has 3 breakers. Breaker1 Breaker2 Breaker3 Sassin | Sassin | Sassin C45N | C45N | C45N C32 | C20 | C16 240/415V | 240/415V | 240/415V IEC60898 | IEC60898 | IEC60898 10000 |6000 | 6000 Just curious if anyone knows what the total wattage of these 3 breakers are in this room. I'm trying to figure out what I need to have modified so that I can run 4000 wattz additional on top of everything else that is already ran in this office space. I already have some stabilizers for each miner and I believe everything else that I need. Though I want to make sure I'm not going to have to hire an electrician and if I am make sure that is already done well in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated, did some googling and found out a little bit but figured someone has to have come across this one before, but who knows.

voltage x current = watts there will be a leeway on this. A big peak in current may well trip the breakers (RCD's) 240 Volts x 13 Amps = 3120 Watts unsure if the system is twin phase (415 volts) Hope that helped somewhat. Reseach model of breaker and ohms law. ;) Title: Re: (Noob) Electricity Questions Post by: syber on March 21, 2014, 12:19:14 PM P over I x V... voltage x current = watts there will be a leeway on this.

The amperage is the number after the C, so assuming you're using single-phase power, the maximum wattage for each breaker is 7680W, 4800W, and 3840W respectively. I'd suggest using the 32 amp breaker to avoid tripping on every power surge, and make sure your cables and power strips etc are rated for at least 32 amps! A 32 amp breaker won't save you if you end up putting 20 amps through a 10 amp cable!
