Internet as an art

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

I own one. They're fantastic; you just have to realize what you have. You can't plug in a computer, three laptops, two monitors, and a space heater.

Most of the stuff I'm plugging in is a few watts.

Space heater 1500W, PC 500W, 3 laptops 360W, 2 monitors 100W = 2460W

With our superior european 230V outlets you can in fact easily plug all that into one power bar :D

We have 220V here too, just not a lot of receptacles or options on power strips :)

I have a 220v 50A in my garage, clothes dryer and Oven.

You sure it’s 50A? I thought it was usually 30.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yup. 50A for level 3 chargers and welders. Oven might be 30, but i know the garage is a 50a circuit.

I don't know enough about electricity. Electrician told me I have 3 phase 400v and it wasn't common. Not sure what that means or what benefit it gives me.

It just means that you can run industrial gear; maybe was owned by a keen potter previously. Big kilns need 3 phase power. No it isn't common for domestic, but I have a few friends with big shed that have 3 phase power for machining tools.

Depending on what capacity the supply has; e.g. if you have a smallish 80A supply you can run a a good sized CNC mill in you shed.

Three phase is useful for industrial motors or if you need more than 200A service. If I wanted to add another car charger in my garage and use them at the same time, they would have had to bring in another phase.

Your electric kettles boil so fast. I am quite envious.

👀

What about a desktop, two laptops, speakers, a printer, four monitors, and some networking equipment? Asking for... Myself. I'm asking for myself.

The box says 15 amps. I think 15 might be pushing it at a bit.

Just start adding up all the input amps and see what it comes to. If it's not Enterprise Network gere and a laser printer you have a solid chance.

Yeah, this is a solver for the oodles and oodles of devices that all insist on using their own dedicated 5v wall wart.
