A 30A breaker works out fine to handle the six 9332 DASD units (IBM's accronym for these type of hard disks for some of you other observers), 9345 tape drive, rack power controllers and the 9370-60 CPU. Can't recall exactly, but total draw was about 11 to 12 amps or so when I checked last fall before I put the system to bed while we were shopping for a house. 30A dual-pole breaker was on hand and turns out to handle surge okay. I have done industrial wiring at work as part of my engineering responsibilities so have experience with handling stuff like this. Still dumped alotta heat! :-) We got cheap electricity in this town. $0.036 per KWH vs. about $0.08 or more per KWH outside of the area. Can't wait to work more with the system later this year if the wife has no additional remodeling in the new house for me to do :-( -- -- ======================================================= Christian Fandt Phone: +716-488-1722 -Home 111 Harding Avenue +716-661-1832 -Office Jamestown, New York Fax: +716-661-1888 -Office fax 14701-4746 USA email: cfandt(a)servtech.com
