This thread is actually in the wrong forum actually.

I'm not talking out of my ass dummy , if you have your 30Amp breakers properly wired to a modern panel you can run them close to 90% load with no problems
some people even run then 100% load.  You would expect the breakers to be slightly warm with continous load but

if you are not sure on your wiring get an inspector or run them below max better safe than sorry.

If my wires were warm to touch I would definitely not run that much load your setup is a disaster waiting to happen.

and read my post again I never said i run at 100% load , thats stupid

 Roll Eyes Yes, you're right and everyone else is wrong. Carry on, and please post pictures when the weakest link in your circuit fails.

says the guy running his circuits  at 100% load

What's your point? I've run them at 100% in the past, and would still do it temporarily in a pinch. Now they're all running at 80%, no more, no less. I wouldn't advise others to do it, unless they knew what they were doing and had built the circuits themselves. Again, only temporarily.

The bullshit you're spouting is dangerous advice for someone who doesn't understand electricity. Are you so pig headed that you can't admit your advise is bad? No one should run their circuits full load continuously.

are you retarded or something ? I never said run it a 100% load , you said that  Huh

I said 90% is fine as long as you have modern wiring and circuit breakers and a solid panel.  I've been running at 90% load on my 240v circuts on my garage 100amp panel for nearly a year now and I had everything professionally installed.   If you overload a circuit that's what fucking breakers are for....  and at that point you will need to start adding more circuits to spread the load...

Unlike you i don't do any kind of wiring on my own with no oversight , its actually ILLEGAL to wire some stuff yourself unless you are licensed in most places in the U.S.

Don't hold your breath waiting for any pictures of my setup blowing up :  if you panel and cables are not warm there is no way you are overtaxing your wiring get YOUR facts straight.

If ANYTHING is warm to the touch you are running some kind of risk if you don't know that I don't know what to tell you.

I have an evga 1300 an d noticed that it's input voltage range is 11-240v.  I am using this to power 3 S3's.

I am wanting to set this up in a workshop that has an unused 240v outlet.  I also have 120v available.

Is there an advantage or disadvantage to using 240 volt rather than 120 volt.

Looking at the equation p = i / e, I would not think it matters.

Does 240 volt put half the amps on the line?  Is this practical?

Thanks,

Tom

Please just call an electrician.  He/she will do it right and it will be up to code.
