But the power was the
greater problem anywauy. Typically there'd me 4 or so 13A sockets, almost
certainly all on one ring, so a maximum current capacity of 30A. We felt
we needed at least 125A (our working idea was 10 exhibitors at about 13A
per exhibitor, if somebody wanted to run a large minicomputer, well, we'd
ensure somebody else was only rounnibg a Beeb :-)).
A few years back I helped set up a very large lan party in a hall that had a kitchen.
We unplugged 2 deepfryers in the kitchen and fed 2 disrtibution panels from those
outlets.
We had a about 80 modern gameing computers with monitors running for several days.
