AW: Who's rewired their house for this hobby?

I do have a Convex C3880 requiring three phase 380V/240A, that's approx. 88KW. Requiring 120mm2 cabling. Not quite common for standard home cabling or standard home power input. Fortunately I do have a storage capable of supplying 680KW. To your question - What about to use a diesel power generator?

If I'm really going to do this, I'll need to get some 220v outlets wired up. (I'm in the US.) Any advice to pass along for this? I'd much rather listen to other people's surprises than have to rediscover them on my own. How much of what you collect requires 220v? How many big boxes do you keep running - 24/7 or just turn it on/off as you want to use it? I guess somewhere in the back of my mind, I realized that old machines took lots of power. But do the collectors here wire up their homes and keep machines there? Or do you have another place (old warehouse or somesuch) that already supports multiple 220v hookups? Or do you colo it somewhere? Not yet sure how expensive it would be, but my wife thinks I'm completely certifiable. Todd Killingsworth
